The nation’s capital will have extensive military presence next week when Joe Biden takes the oath of office and becomes the 46th U.S. president.
Washington D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said on Wednesday, “I think you can expect to see somewhere upwards beyond 20,000 members of the National Guard that will be here in the footprint of the District of Columbia.”
State capitals nationwide are also bracing for demonstrations, or at worst, armed insurrection.
