Congress must not allow a snow storm to delay the certification of President-elect Donald Trump‘s Electoral College victory, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Sunday.
“Well, I hope we have full attendance. We’ve got a big snow storm coming to D.C. and we encourage all of our colleagues, ‘Do not leave town. Stay here.’ Because, as you know, the Electoral Count Act requires this on January 6 at 1 p.m. So, whether we’re in a blizzard or not we’re going to be in that chamber making sure this is done,” Johnson told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo during a “Sunday Morning Futures” interview.
