# Sedition Caucus Informal label for the 147 Republican members of Congress (139 House, 8 Senate) who voted to object to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results on January 6–7, 2021, hours after the [[January 6 Capitol Attack]]. The term highlights the unprecedented nature of elected officials attempting to overturn a certified election and connects to the broader [[Deep State]] narrative that the election was stolen. Many Sedition Caucus members have since been rewarded with leadership positions, illustrating how norm-breaking has been institutionalized within the Republican conference.
