As the inauguration of the 46th president of the United States is just 5 days away, security apparatus has been employed to beef up the safety of lives and property before, during, and after the inauguration.
President-elect Joe Biden and his VP-elect Kamala Harris are scheduled to be sworn in on Wednesday January 20.
Treating security as one of the main concerns after the horrendous assault by pro-Trump supporters on the Capitol on January 6, it is apparent that the outgoing Vice President Mike Pence has taken the presidential role.
He checked the National Guard’s troops assuring the security in Washington DC.
“We will deliver a safe inauguration”, he said.
Mike Pence also held a meeting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Meanwhile, preparations around the capital are underway for Biden’s big day. Workers can be seen putting up banners and mounting platforms for the inaugural ceremony.
More than 20,000 National Guard troops could be in Washington to help secure Biden’s inauguration, Washington Police Chief Robert Contee said.
