I'm seeing that he may be moving toward the Insurrection Act by asking everyone to leave. But it's so much chaos. I'd love some idea of what people are thinking.

My uneducated opinion: this attack to the Capitol was planned and anticipated. Also Pence "betrayal" was part of the show imo. Pence simply unilaterally deciding to reject electors would have appeared as a blatant Coup.
Now the MSM can't realistically say that Trump supporters are not to be taken seriously, as a bunch of sore losers relaying "baseless and futile allegations". Basically, the "Trump tantrum" meme doesn't hold anymore. Today's demonstration is the proof that the patriots are to be taken seriously. And that they will not bow down until the claims of election fraud are SERIOUSLY investigated.
At this stage, going for a "Biden Presidency" as if nothing happened basically equates civil war, at least for optics, which is what matters.
Also, not saying it will happen but it has given Trump an occasion to say "go home, calm down, disperse". Which is, notably, a pre-condition for triggering an Insurrection Act.
TL;DR: all is under control.
