DC, Trump and Harris beef up security over fears of Election Day violence

[LAUREN TAYLOR]

WASHINGTON D-C AND TRUMP’S FLORIDA ELECTION HEADQUARTERS ARE BEING FORTIFIED AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY.

THE MOVES COME AS FEARS OF ELECTION DAY VIOLENCE GROW IN A POST JANUARY 6TH, 2021 WORLD AND AN ASSASANIATION ATTEMPT AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN JULY.

IN D-C, LAW ENFORCEMENT ISN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES THIS YEAR AFTER DEADLY RIOTS ROCKED THE NATION’S CAPITAL AS THE 2020 ELECTION WAS CERTIFIED.

ALL 33-HUNDRED D-C POLICE OFFICERS WILL BE MOBILIZED AND WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS THROUGH ELECTION DAY EVEN THOUGH OFFICIALS MAINTAIN THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CREDIBLE THREAT.

PRIVATE SECURITY FIRMS ARE ALSO BEEFING UP EFFORTS.

ONE SECURITY FIRM SAYS IT’S DEPLOYING AROUND TWO-THOUSAND PRIVATE PERSONNEL FOR 12-HOUR SHIFTS AT CLIENTS BUILDINGS SURROUNDING THE WHITE HOUSE.

EIGHT-FOOT-HIGH METAL FENCES ARE INSTALLED AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS’ D-C HOME AT THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY IS FENCED OFF.

BOTH TRUMP AND HARRIS’ ELECTION WATCH PARTIES ARE BEING HEAVILY GUARDED TOO.

TRUMP’S ELECTION-BASE WILL BE AT WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA’S CONVENTION CENTER, WHERE THE SECRET SERVICE CONFIRMED ‘PHYSICAL BARRIERS’ ARE IN PLACE.

FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP AND THEIR SON BARRON TRUMP, FLEW OUT OF NEW YORK CITY SUNDAY TO JOIN THE FORMER PRESIDENT. 

HARRIS’ LOCATION AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY WILL HAVE SURROUNDING STREETS CLOSED AND RESTRICTED PARKING.

LOCAL BUSINESSESES ARE ALSO BOARDING UP WINDOWS AND OTHERS ERECTING WALLS.

D-C ESTABLISHMENTS REPORT FEWER CUSTOMERS ARE COMING AS ELECTION DAY APPROACHES.

SOME BELIEVE IT’S OVER ELECTION DAY ANXIETY AS MANY WOULD RATHER STAY IN THE SAFETY OF THEIR HOMES.

BUSINESS OWNERS INTERVIEWED BY THE WASHINGTON POST SAY THEY’D RATHER GO OVERBOARD ON PREPARATIONS AND HAVE NOTHING HAPPEN THAN THE ALTERNATIVE.
