None of the candidates participated in the Electoral College vote count on January 6, nor were they present during the ensuing Capitol attack. During the attack, Tenney tweeted that "deep concerns over election integrity do not justify violence or property destruction." Brindisi condemned the attack and attributed it to Trump's actions. When asked about the second impeachment of Donald Trump, Brindisi said he would have voted to impeach, while Tenney would not have. Later on, Tenney stated that were she in Congress at the time, she "really would've been torn" on whether to vote to certify the election results, and repeated a claim that many of the rioters were not Trump supporters. She would later vote against the January 6 commission.
