Four years ago, on Jan. 6, 2021, the nation witnessed a tumultuous event as supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the certification of Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. This year, however, the atmosphere leading up to Jan. 6 was notably different.
Unlike the previous year's chaos, the 2022 proceedings were marked by internal House Republican disputes rather than violent protests. Lawmakers assured that there would be no violence or attempts to subvert the constitutional process.
