Four days after the terrorist information was obtained, barricades and fences were installed around the US Capitol, where Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony was held.



Vice President Mike Pence presided over the National Security Council and found the National Guard on Washington security.



[Mike Pence/US Vice President: The new US President and Vice President will be inaugurated.

We will move our country forward.

Do you understand?

(Yes.) You can do that.

Thank you all.]



Vice President Pence made his first congratulatory phone call after the election to Vice President-elect Harris and promised a safe transfer of power and an inauguration ceremony.



Unlike Vice President Pence, President Trump is scheduled to go to Florida the morning of his inauguration without attending the inauguration ceremony.



[Linsey Graham/Republican Senator: Given the current situation, it would be best not to go to the inauguration.]



This is the first time since Andrew Johnson in 1869, also impeached by the House of Representatives, that the President of the United States does not attend the inauguration of his successor.



President Trump had the lowest approval rating of his term at 29 percent, and he retired as a senior politician who did not want two-thirds of Americans to be remembered.
