Fallout from riot, virus leaves toxic mood on Capitol Hill

FILE - In this Feb. 4, 2021, file photo, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. The mood is so bad at the Capitol that a Democratic congressman recently let an elevator pass him by rather than ride with Republican colleagues who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s election. “You know, I do sometimes just close my eyes and like picture this place in the way that it used to be, and how welcoming it was,” said Omar, first elected in 2018.
