Senators were locked inside the second floor of the Capitol building as protesters, many wearing “Make America Great Again” hats, gathered outside the chamber doors.

On the House side, chamber doors were also barricaded, glass doors broken, and members evacuated from the floor.

Several female members, including Reps. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, and Pramila Jayapa, D-Wash., were seen praying.
