Giuliani and Trump are calling senators and urging them to press ahead with objections, source says

From CNN's Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins

President Trump is urging senators to push ahead with the protest on the certification of Joe Biden as President, according to a source familiar with the discussions, and the source says it sounds like Sen. Josh Hawley will continue his push for an objection.

As CNN reported earlier, Hawley would not answer when asked what his plans are following the protests today, and whether he would still object to Pennsylvania.

Sen. Roger Marshall also would not answer a question about whether he still planned to object to Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Congress reconvened their joint session tonight after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol. Lawmakers are currently debating an objection to Arizona's electoral votes.

5. I think it's over

I think after today and after last night's Georgia run-offs, the Republicans are realizing they need to move on past Trump. This is something they should have done years ago. If they had done so, today's acts wouldn't have happened.

9. Trump is political poison right now.

He jumped the treason shark and went back for a terrorism two-fer. Trump is about to discover he has no friends, now that he has no value.
