U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer warned Sunday about the threat of violence at the January 20 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, especially in the aftermath of last week’s storming of the U.S.
Inauguration Day is less than two weeks away, but many lawmakers including Lehigh Valley Congresswoman Susan Wild want President Trump out of office before then.
The violent insurrection at the US Capitol has intensified scrutiny over security at the inauguration ceremony for president-elect Joe Biden.
The event has already been reshaped by the pandemic and the prospect that his predecessor may not attend.
Mr Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris will take the oath of office from the Capitol’s West Front, one of the very locations where a violent mob overpowered police and stormed the building.
They also scaled and occupied the scaffolding in place for the ceremonies in Washington DC on January 20.
Inauguration plans were already scaled back because of coronavirus.
But the brazen attack raises new questions about preparedness for the event that will welcome the new administration after a bitter election.
