House, Senate congressional leaders, and presidential nominee Joe Biden called on President Donald Trump to demand all protesters leave the U.S. Capitol building following a breach and reports of shots fired on Wednesday.

Biden, in a televised address at around 4 p.m., said Trump should go on television “now” to address the protesters and told them to go home, which he branded as an “insurrection” and “bordering on sedition.”
