Chaos at the Capitol and Senate power shift

January 6th, 2021 is a day that will live in infamy: over the afternoon, supporters of outgoing president Donald Trump took over the Capitol building as a joint session was set to confirm Joe Biden’s win of the White House. The resulting riot left a woman dead and multiple injured. But on the same day, results out of Georgia handed Democrats both Senate seats, flipping the upper chamber, and giving Joe Biden the full force of the government to fight climate change. POLITICO’s Anthony Adragna, on what a Democratic federal government is likely to do.
