On January 5–6, 2021, thousands of supporters of US President Donald Trump gathered in Washington, D.C. to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election, and support Trump's demand for Vice President Mike Pence and Congress to reject president-elect Joe Biden's victory.[2][3] Congress was in session at the time, conducting the Electoral College vote count, debating after Ted Cruz and Paul Gosar objected to the Electoral College count of Arizona's votes. Select buildings in the U.S. Capitol complex were evacuated, and protestors broke past security to enter the U.S. Capitol building, including National Statuary Hall.[1][4] On Wednesday afternoon, Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a 6 p.m. curfew to go into effect that night.[5]

Events

Protestors began to gather in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, January 5, in advance of a planned rally the next day. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, at least ten people were arrested.[1]

On the morning of Wednesday, January 6, thousands of protestors surrounded Washington Monument to rally. Several people gave speeches on The Ellipse, including Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani and Trump himself. Giuliani addressed the crowd, repeating baseless conspiracy theories that voting machines used in the election were "crooked". Trump gave a speech from behind a glass barrier, attacking the media and calling for Pence to overturn the election results, something that is not within Pence's constitutional power.[6]

On Wednesday afternoon, Pence released a letter to Congress in which he said he would not oppose Biden's victory.[6] Also on Wednesday afternoon, beginning at approximately 2:15 pm,[7] protestors began to attempt to storm buildings in the U.S. Capitol complex. Some buildings in the complex were evacuated, and protestors broke past security to enter the U.S. Capitol building, including National Statuary Hall.[1][4] All buildings in the complex were later locked down, with no entry or exit from the buildings allowed. Those within the building were asked to move into offices and lock their doors and windows; those outside were advised to "seek cover".[8] Members of Congress inside the House were told to put on gas masks after law enforcement began using tear gas within the building. ABC News reported that shots were fired within the Capitol building.[9]
