Washington DC sets up massive barriers before crucial election night
Security barriers appear around key government buildings in Washington DC as election day approaches. Eight-foot metal fences now surround the White House and other important locations in the nations capital
Security measures in the nations capital have ramped-up big time ahead of election-day. Eight-foot non-scaleable barriers now wrap around both the White House and Kamala Harrisʼs residence at the Naval Observatory (similar to what happened before the previous election 4 years ago)
The black metal fencing brings back memories of whats been seen before — especially that time almost 4 years ago when the whole Capitol complex needed extra protection. Now some lighter bike-rack style barriers stand near the Capitol building; while nearby shops close-to the White House have put up wooden boards on their windows
The Secret Service says these safety steps are just part of their wide-ranging prep work: not because of any real danger. Pamela Smith the DC police chief confirmed last week that they havent found any actual threats to the city. Meanwhile down in West Palm Beach FL security teams are getting ready for Donald Trumps election-night event thats happening tomorrow
