Pence pledges a “safe inauguration”
US Vice President Mike Pence said on Thursday: “We’ve lived through that day [of Capitol siege). … And as the president made clear we are committed to an orderly transition and a safe inauguration. The American people deserve no less.” He spoke before a security briefing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency five days before the swearing-in of Joe Biden as president while meeting with National Guard troops posted to the Capitol.
