A important audience may well miss out on the final Jan 6 Hearing.

I refer, of course, to Florida Man or less sarcastically to the good people of Florida (such as myself) who will no doubt be preoccupied with what may well turn out to be a major hurricane.

We don't know at this point where the storm will make landfall but loss of electricity for many is probably a given since the electric companies usually turn it off on purpose for safety concerns until the wind dies down and they can assess whatever damage may or may not have occured.

Sure, they can watch it later at some point if they care to and the MAGA's will no doubt ignore it altogether anyway but there may still be moderate GOPers and independents who could possibly be persuaded.

Add to that the fact that the major networks will be covering the hurricane instead and that the event itself would normally displace any other story and will certainly be excuse to do so mid week.

Unfortunate.

I thought he was still at Bedminster; if so I'm sure he'll tune in and them claim he didn't.

I've been through many Florida hurricanes. I know how bad it can be, but they're really selling this one to keep eyes on the news.

I'm sure it will be historic and as many people as possible need to see it.

I wish there was some way for them to postpone it.

Florida is the 3rd largest state and we need as many of our eyes to see this important hearing as possible. People catching it next week won't have the same impact I fear.

Don’t see the downside to waiting a week and surely the committee must realize this.

errr… right?
