Missouri should recall Hawley

Congressional leaders pushing to finish election verification tonight, sources say.

Congressional leaders are pushing to finish the verification process tonight, multiple sources familiar told CNN.

And as senators wait to get back on the Senate floor and resume the certification process, some senators are using the time to push and cajole the GOP senators who planned to object to states like Georgia and Pennsylvania to back down after they finish debate over Arizona’s election results, two senate sources familiar with the conversations told CNN.

It is unclear whether the efforts would be successful. It would require Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, for example, to back down in a very public way.

While leaving a secure location with other senators, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin told CNN there’s a belief that Congress will finish the Electoral College certification tonight.

“These thugs aren’t running us off,” Manchin said.

He said he thinks it will happen in the Capitol but didn’t know for sure.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, one of the Trump allies helping lead the effort to object to the Electoral College votes, tweeted this afternoon that Congress "must get back to work and finish its job."

Shunning his ass is their first job.

Aiding and abetting insurrectionists might be prosecutable.
