This year has felt like a decade’s worth of news packed into 12 months. CQ Roll Call photojournalists covered the president’s impeachment trial, the onset and continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the racial justice movement, the primaries and general election, a confirmation of a Supreme Court justice and several high-profile and noteworthy deaths. And that’s just the start of the list.
