The riot led to significant damage, injuries, and the deaths of several individuals. In response to the violence, law enforcement and the National Guard were deployed to restore order. The event resulted in numerous arrests and raised concerns about security at the Capitol. It also sparked a national conversation about political extremism and the integrity of the electoral process.
