2020–21 United States Senate special election in Georgia
A special election was held to elect a Senator from the U.S. state of Georgia in two rounds on November 3, 2020; and January 5, 2021. It was held because Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson resigned. Raphael Warnock got the most votes with 32.9%, and Kelly Loeffler came in second with 25.9% in the first round. Because no one got more than 50% of votes, a second round was held between the two highest. Warnock is projected to win the second round of the election. The regular Class II election was also held on the same dates with two rounds.
Since no candidate won more than 50% of the vote on November 3, the top two finishers—Republican Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock—went to a January 5, 2021 runoff election.

2021 storming of the United States Capitol
On January 5–6, 2021, thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump were in Washington, D.C. to protest against the results of the 2020 presidential election. They went in to support Trump's demand for Vice President Mike Pence and Congress to reject President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The protests became riots as thousands of Trump supporters broke into the United States Capitol, damaging the building. The presidential historian Michael Beschloss called the attacks an attempted coup d'etat by the President.
First occurred a planned rally on the Ellipse. There, Rudy Giuliani called for "trial by combat", while Donald Trump told his supporters to march to the United States Capitol "to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard today", while also asking them to "show strength" and to "fight like hell" for Republicans to "take back our country".
The supporters broke into the Capitol. Congress was in session at the time and all congressmen, news reporters and Vice President Mike Pence were evacuated to a secure location.
A Trump-supporting female rioter was shot by Capitol Police during the storming, when she climbed through a barricaded door near the entrance to the hall for the House of Representatives; she died later that day. Three people also died from medical emergencies that day, said the Washington D.C. police. Attackers beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher.
The attack on the Capitol has been seen and called as domestic terrorism.
During the attack, several rioters carried Confederate battle flags or Nazi symbols. For the first time in U.S. history, a Confederate battle flag was displayed inside the U.S. Capitol building.
5 people died during or shortly after the event: four rioters and one police officer. Fifteen police officers were hospitalized, and more than 50 injured. Members of the mob hit Capitol Police officers in the head with lead pipes and other weapons, including flag poles. Howard Liebengood was a Capitol Police officer on duty during the attack. He died by suicide three days later. Jeffrey Smith defended the capitol as part of the Metro Police Department. He killed himself soon after.
Trump was impeached for a second time because of what happened. Some people even wanted Vice President Pence to use the twenty-fifth amendment to remove Trump from office.
