Republican senators are hopeful that they ve convinced their colleagues to drop their plan to challenge additional Electoral College results from Georgia and Pennsylvania.
The Senate will reconvene on Wednesday evening to finish debating a challenge to Arizona’s Electoral College results, which was interrupted when rioters stormed the Capitol and senators were moved to a secure location. There s gonna be probably 30 or 40 more minutes of debate, and one vote, said Sen. Rand Paul

Facebook early Wednesday clamped down on political ads about the two Georgia Senate runoff elections held Tuesday.
The platform announced that it is barring the ads “in line with our existing nationwide social issues, electoral or political ads pause.”
“Any ads about the Georgia runoff elections will be paused and advertisers will no longer be able to create new ads about social issues, elections, or politics,” Facebook said.

Users can “continue to post organically and run ads that are not about social issues, elections, or politics and that do not require a disclaimer” and will have to reconfirm their authorizations and disclaimers for any ads on “US social issues, electoral or political ads.”
