The United States reinforced security around the Capitol for fear of a repeat of the violence of 2021
With the specter of the storming of the Capitol by Trump followers on January 6, 2021, when the same procedure was carried out, the authorities of Washington reinforced security measures and they put tall black fences in front of the building that completely covered it. Security forces were on high alert. Tourists were not allowed to enter.
However, fortunately on this occasion there was no altercation. In the 2020 elections, neither Trump nor his followers had accepted defeat against Joe Biden and denounced fraud, while on this occasion, the Democrats accepted the choice of American voters.
