#President #Trump has cut his holiday vacation at his #Mar-a-Lago club short and will return to the #White #House on #Thursday morning, the administration announced.
The #White #House did not provide any explanation for the sudden schedule change, only advising that the commander-in-chief, joined by first lady #Melania #Trump, would be flying home in the late morning.
The first family was originally expected to stay at his #Winter #White #House until at least after #New #Year’s #Day, allowing the president to still host his annual #New #Year’s #Eve party.
#At least 500 people had committed to attending the glitzy affair, which costs $1,000 per person, CNN reported. The event is known to be one of the president’s favorite annual gatherings.
The change came hours after #Sen. #Josh #Hawley (R-Mo.) announced that he would object on #Jan. 6 to #Congress certifying #President-elect #Joe #Biden’s #Electoral #College victory.
#Several #House #Republicans — led by #Rep. #Mo #Brooks (R-Ala.) — had already said they would object to the results.
#In order for that to make any difference, however, they would need a senator to object, triggering floor votes on whether to accept the outcome.
The #Electoral #College went 306-232 for #Biden.
