Meanwhile, Joe Biden's team coordinating with federal security forces also went the extra mile to ensure the safety of the winner of the US Presidential Election. A number of security measures were taken.

The training for the inauguration of the elected President and Vice President, which was originally held on the day after Sunday, was postponed due to security concerns. This is like launching Reuters from Politico.

However, the exercise was not completely canceled, because the inauguration exercise will be held on Monday next week. However, there has been no comment from the Presidential Inauguration Committee regarding this matter.
