A rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration scheduled for Sunday has been postponed due to security concerns in the nation’s capital, according to reports.
The rehearsal will be held Monday instead, Politico reported.
Security has been boosted across Washington, D.C. since the deadly riot earlier this month at the Capitol. The Capitol complex has been locked down, and more than 20,000 National Guard troops are expected to be deployed ahead of the inauguration on Wednesday. More than a dozen D.C. Metro stations will be closed to the public in the days leading up to and following January 20.
The FBI has warned that armed protesters could demonstrate in both Washington, D.C. and state capitals around the country. The agency has observed “extensive” talk online suggesting the possibility of violence around Biden’s inauguration, FBI director Christopher Wray said.
“We’re concerned about the potential for violence at multiple protests and rallies planned here in D.C. and at state capital buildings around the country in the days to come that could bring armed individuals within close proximity to government buildings and officials,” Wray said last week.
Biden’s team has also canceled an Amtrak trip Monday from Wilmington to Washington due to security concerns in the capital.
“In the week since the attack on Congress by a mob that included domestic terrorists and violent extremists, the nation has continued to learn more about the threat to our democracy and about the potential for additional violence in the coming days, both in the National Capital Region and in cities across the country. This is a challenge that the President-elect and his team take incredibly seriously,” the Biden transition team said in a statement.

Biden’s not even in the hour long inauguration promo video. It ends with Harris giving a speech. He doesn’t appear ... at all (did I miss him? I was watching it at 2x and it still seemed to go on forever). Will he attend?
Ya but he will still eff it up like his long legged mack daddy boss did when he was sworn.
Matter of fact, they had to re-do it after in the White Hut it got so effed up.
Perhaps they are being attacked by tens of thousands of demons!!!!
Now the Monday rehearsal has been cancelled. He ain’t coming folks. 😆
Why does he have to rehearse, he’s already been through the swearing-in process multiple times before.
Postponed because he wouldn’t be able to remember anything he rehearsed anyway.
Interesting graphic. Who is the white man with his arm around the black kid? Hunter?
And the bound and gagged women. What is their significance?
Have a quiet ceremony in the White House. No need for all the fanfare so he can unify the country!
“ not sure whose staging it tho”
Really, really bad people.
Biden = emasculated male
Biden is afraid to step foot in DC. He fears being arrested, and sent to Italy for trial with Obama.
i thought “walls don’t work”
Good response. How about just detaining demonstrators? We were asked not to attend and many are heeding the request. Trump is still President, just tell the Guards to deal with the demonstrators now.
Yeah, I know, right to assemble. They took away our rights, and plan to grab more.
Agreed. Who is going to be tuning in? Not many I know of.
“Heard from someone involved in the “festivities” that all the bridges into DC will be shut down as of 0600 on Tues. morning.”
Great way to show traitorous, bribe taking, election stealing, senile Joe, who “won” more votes than any other presidential candidate inn the history of the US, is a “genuine, popularly elected president.” The intensity of their totalitarian “security” precautions shows they all know what really happened.
