STORYLINE:
Republican lawmakers left Capitol Hill on Wednesday to make their way over the protest at George Washington University’s campus.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky and Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida were seen arriving on campus with security as they made their way through the crowd.
Their visit is to highlight student protests over the Israel-Hamas war that have popped up at many college campuses around the country.
Before dawn Monday, demonstrators at the school in Washington, D.C., tore down metal barricades confining them to University Yard and set up more than a dozen tents in the middle of a street.
Later in the day, there were no signs of conflict. The Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that it will continue monitoring the situation and that the protest remained peaceful.
The university said it will move law school finals to a different building because of noise from the protests.
