The House and Senate went into recess due to a lockdown over protests outside Capitol Hill on Wednesday during the Joint Session of Congress as lawmakers hear arguments and challenges over states’ electoral votes.

“The House is in Recess subject to the call of the Chair,” the House Press Gallery wrote at around 2:30 p.m. ET.
