The Washington Post: White House Surrounded by New Security Barriers Ahead of Election
New fence installed near White House and Harris' home in Washington
New security fencing has been erected around the White House, Capitol Hill and Vice President Kamala Harris's residence. RIA Novosti reported that the move was made due to threats of unrest after the November 5 election.
The Secret Service has stepped up security, including erecting tall metal fences around the White House and Treasury complex, as well as nearby Lafayette Square. Defenses have also been set up around the Naval Observatory and Kamala Harris's residence.
In addition to Washington state, Florida has also stepped up security. Authorities have beefed up security outside the West Palm Beach Convention Center, where presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to hold a campaign party.
Business owners near the White House are also taking precautions, beefing up private security, boarding up windows and street entrances, and erecting barriers to prevent potential damage in the event of post-election unrest.
As reported by the Vzglyad newspaper, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump enjoy equal support among voters, which indicates a tough competition between Democrats and Republicans, NBC News reports.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation officials have confiscated Peanuts, a former social media star squirrel, from American Jack Longo and euthanized him, sparking outrage among Republican supporters.
Republicans used the story of squirrel euthanasia in the election campaign to encourage voting for Trump. Donald Trump also claimed that Kamala Harris's victory in the election could lead to a repeat of the Great Depression of 1929-1939 in the United States.
