- WENT AHEAD AND BROUGHT UP - PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH IS THE STATE - HE LATER REPORTED TO BE PLANNING - TO OBJECT TO, HE SAID HE WAS - GOING TO OBJECT TO MAY INICE - THAT HE IS GOING TO DROP THAT - OBJECTION LATER. - HERE BUT THE FACT HE WOULD BRING - THAT UP AND SAY IT'S SOMETHING E - CONGRESS TO LOOK AT. - HOWENNSYLVANIA DEALT WITH ITS - MAIL-IN BALLOTS LEGAL CHANGES - MAY BE A HINT THAT HE IS NOT G - GO OBJECT WHEN IT COMES TO - PENNSYLVANIA. - WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM TED - CRUZ ABOUT TONIGHT. - ABOUT THE DEBATE ON ARIZONA BUT - IF KELLY LOEFFLER DROPPED HER - OBJECTION ON GEORGIA AND IF - HOLLY IS DROPPING HIS ON - PENNSYLVANIA WE MAY HAVE NO MORE - STATES THAT YOU HAVE AGREEMENT A - BETWEEN THE AND THE HOUSE - TO OBJECT TO. - THAT COULD MEAN THAT THE PRCESS - WILL MOVE THROUGH SMOOTHLY NOW. - I WANT TO TURN QUICKLY BACK TO - ELDERLY MIKE MULLEN, MY IE

- DESJARDINS: THAT'S ITICAL - QUESTION. - TALKING TO MY SOURCES I DO NOT - WHO TELLS ME FIRMLY THAT THIS E - WILL BE THE ONLY OBJECTION. - THAT INCLUDES SOURCES WITH THE - REACHED OUT SOME SENATORS E - FICES, SO I WANT TO BE CAREFUL - WHAT I SAY, THIS IS BASED ON MY - READING WHAT I HEARD FROM - SENATOR HOLLY AND LOEFFLER, THE - TWO SENATORS DESIGNATED TO - OBJECT TO THE REMAINING STATES, - PENNSYLVANIA AND GEORGIA. - YOU SAID THIS AFTER WE HEARD - FROM THE SENATS. - MY READING OF THEIR REMARKS IS - THAT THEY ARE VERY UNLIKELY. - LOEFFLER WILL NOT OBJECT. - QUESTION IS THEN, DOES SOMEONE - ELSE OBJECT TO GEORGIA AND DOES - SENATOR HOY OBJECT O - PENNSYLVANIA? - MY READING IS THAT HE'S LIKELY - LL NOT. - VE HIS REMARKS. - GAVE HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT THE VOTE - IN PENNSYLVANIA T - THEY'RE S PORTION OF THE - DEBATE. - MY READING IS THAT IT IS - EUNLIKELY THAT W WILL HAVE - FURTHER OBJECTIONS AFTER THIS

- ONE,EMINDER TO EVRYONE ABOUT - WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE, I'VE BEEN - ASKING HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT ON - THE CLOC FOR BOTH THE HOUSE - AND SENATE FOR THE DEBATE. - I INK THE SENATE SHOULD BE - GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO RUNNING - OUT OF DEBATE TIM - AFTER THAT THEY GO TO A VOTE ON - THIS OBJECTION. - WHETHER TO SUSTAIN THE OBJECTION - OR NOT. - NOW, THAT COULD TAKE SOME TIME - BECAUSE WE'RE DOING COVID AN - PRECAUTION FRANKLY, ANY - VOTE IN THE SENATE TAKES TIME H - GOING THROE U.S. SENATE. - THEY DO A ROLL CALL I'LDIL PRE - 20 TO TO 30 MINUTES, THEN THE - HOUSE WILL TAKE LONGER THEY WILI - BE V IN COVID FORMATION, - THAT COULD TAKE AN HOUR. - I THINK WHAT I'M GETTING AT HERE - I'M STARTING TO SEE HOPES FOR A - HORIZON FOR WHEN THIS VERY LONG - DAY ENDS. - OF COURSE, WE STILL NEED TO M - CONFAT THERE WILL BE NO - FURTHER OBJECTIONS. - BUT MY REDING IS TAT IS THE - MOOD OF THE CHAMBERS.

- THAT IS WHAT I'M GETTING FROM - THE REMARKS, THESE ARE NOT SHARP - PROTESTS OF THE ELECTION, IF - ANYTHING, I FEEL LIKE THE E - OBJECTORS ND OF CHECKING A - BOX TO SAY THAT THEY DID THISI . - THAT ARE READY TMOVE ON.RS - >> JUDY WOODRUFF: THAT'S THE - QUESTION I HAD BECAUSE AS YOU - POINT OUT. - KELLY LOEFFLER IS NOW SAID SHE'S - WITHDRAWING HER OBJECTION GIVEN - WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, SHMADE IT - FAIRLY BRIEF. - BUT IT WAS A CLEAR STATEMENT - SHE'S NO LONGER GOING TO PURSUE - THIS. - WITH SENATOR HOLLY IT WAS A - LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO DISCERN - BUT IT WAS NOTICED THATE MADE - A POINT OF BRINGING UP - PENNSYLVANIA, THE FACT THAT THE - STATE CHANGED ITS LAW AROUND - MAIL-IN BALLOTS AFR YEARS AND - YEARS OF SAYING, MIL-IN - AROUND MAIL-IN BALHEY MADE RULES - IT MUCH EASIER THIS YEAR DUE TO - THE PANDEMIC AND HE SAID THIS IS - SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS - A BODY. - SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT - I HOPE WE CAN COME TOGETHER AND

- LOOK. - WHICH SOUNDED TO ME AS IF HE WAS - SAYING I'M DEALING WITH THAT - NOW,ERHAPS HE WAS SAYING I - WON'T BE BRINGING UP THE FORMALO - OBJE - LISA DESJARDINS: THERE'S NO - REASON HE WOULD BE DOING IT - TWICE. - IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. - THIS KIND OF PSROBL AN HITORIC - CRISIS AT THE U.S. CAPITOL. - FEELS TO ME UNLIKELY HE WOULD DO - THAT TWICE. - HE HAS PUT OUT CONDEMNING THE - VIOLENCE. - HEADED.THAT'S WHERE WE'RE - ONE OF THE THINGS JUDY YOU - REMEMBER TALKING TO YAMICHE AND - GREAT REPORTING ON WHAT'S GOING - JECT AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WHICH - IS ALSO EYE POPPING. - HERE THERE ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF - CONVERSATIONS THAT HAD A FEW - SOURCES CONTACT ME. - SAYING THEY'RE TRYING TO WEIGH - THIS CONCEPT OF WHETHER THE - PRESIDENT SHOULD BE REMOVED. - NOW, WHETHER BY THE 25TH - IMPEACHMENT SEEMS HAT'S EFFORT - UNLIKELY FOR TIMING REASON - BUT THERE IS SOME BACK AND FORTH - THINKING OF WHETHER A REMOVAL OT

- THIS PRESIOW AND I CAN'T - BELIEVE I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS, - BUT WHETHER THE REMOVAL OF THIS - PRESIDENT COULD ACTUALLY INFLAME - THINGS AT THIS MOMENT. - THAT IT COULD ACTUALLY FEED INTO - HIS IDAS, AND THE IDEAS OF - PEOPLE WHO CAMTO THISCAPITOL - THAT ERRONEOUS THAT THERE'S A - PLOT AGAINST PRESIDENT. - NOW, I DON'T THINK THESE - CONVERSATIONS ARE SETTLED. - BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING - NOW.
