- Fetterman at his Philly rally asks everyone to hold up a hand if they have had a health problem, or a parent or child with a health problem. "I hope that you didn’t have a doctor in your life making fun of it, laughing at you, telling you that you’re not able to do your job"
- Dem Rep. Al Greene - wheeled in just as the vote appeared headed toward a tie, no shoes on, in what looked like hospital scrubs as pants - said he had surgery. But came to vote against the impeachment. Hakeem Jeffries shook his hand after he arrived
- Trump says "we have a lot of ppl standing outside" and he "broke the all time record" in this arena. There are rows of empty seats here

- PAs Mike Kelly (R) raising questions about whether PAs Act 77 (on voting laws) was constitutional. It was passed with huge bipartisan support through the GOP-led state legislature. Signed a year before the 2020 election. No one objected to it until after Trump lost.
