Day: January 6, 2025

The first snowstorm to hit the D.C. area isn’t pulling up with a dusting, it’s bringing heavy snow and bitter temperatures. Here’s what you need to know.

Congress plans to convene amid a snowstorm to certify the 2024 election results for President-elect Donald Trump. Jan. 6 is the date required by law.

As Congress convenes amid a winter storm to certify President-elect Donald Trump ‘s election, the legacy of Jan. 6 hangs over the proceedings with an extraordinary fact: The candidate who tried to overturn the previous election won this time, and is legitimately returning to power. Layers of tall black fencing flank the U.S. Capitol complex in a stark reminder of what happened four years ago, when a defeated Trump sent his mob to “fight like hell” in what became the most gruesome attack on the seat of American democracy in 200 years. No violence, protests or even procedural objections in Congress are expected this time.

A major winter blast of snow, ice, high winds and plunging temperatures are stirring up dangerous conditions across the U.S. central and southern states all the way to the East Coast.
