Members of Congress have been hunkered down through much of the afternoon as security attempted to retake control of the chamber from Trump insurrectionists.

He went line by line Monday refuting allegations made by President Trump about the state's voting system.

If Dems pick up both seats in Tuesday's Georgia runoff elections, they will wrest control of the U.S. Senate from Republicans. If Republicans win one, they will retain it.
