Rep. Jody Hice R-GA objects to the elections in his own home state of Georgia, by which he was elected to Congress in November. There is applause as Hice admits he has no Senator signed on to the objection.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA objects to the elections in Michigan - but she has no Senator signed on to the objection. There is again applause, as Michigan's electoral votes are approved.
Rep. Mo Brooks R-AL objects to Nevada - but he also has no Senator signed on to the objection. There is even louder applause, as Nevada's electoral votes are approved.
We now have an objection to Pennsylvania which does have a Senator signed on. So the House and Senate will withdraw for up to 2 hours of debate. Sen. Josh Hawley R-MO and Rep. Scott Perry R-PA were the objecting lawmakers.
Debate is now underway on the House floor. Rep. Scott Perry R-PA is arguing that the elections in his home state - evidently including his own re-election - were illegitimate.
The Senate is done with these challenges. All debate time is being yielded back, and the Senate is now voting on the challenge to the Pennsylvania electoral votes.
The Senate rejects the Pennsylvania challenge 92-7.
