“The vote count law requires this to be done on January 6th at 1:00 p.m. So whether it’s a blizzard or not, we’re going to be in that house and we’re going to make sure it gets done,” Johnson said in an interview with ” Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News.
Johnson said he hoped everyone would be in attendance despite the storm and encouraged lawmakers to stay in town.
Forecasts call for heavy snow and strong winds in states from the Great Plains to the Mid-Atlantic states, the National Weather Service announced. Severe weather warnings have been issued for the eastern half of the country, including blizzard warnings for parts of Kansas.
Seven to 18 centimeters of snow and sleet are expected to fall in Washington, making commuting difficult and possibly shutting down schools, government and businesses.
Bad weather could cause problems in the Washington metropolitan area, which has had mild winters in recent decades and was sometimes unprepared for accumulating snow or ice.
