Biden's inauguration day: What will look different, who will attend, and what will go virtual

Heightened security following Capitol breach

Less than a week after a violent mob stormed the Capitol in a deadly security breach, the Secret Service expressed confidence Monday in a sprawling plan to secure the presidential inauguration, describing it as a "zero fail mission."

Five people, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer, died as a result of last week's violence when attackers, many of them armed and waving flags in support of President Donald Trump, rushed the Capitol where lawmakers were formally confirming Biden's victory in November's election.

The FBI has warned authorities of the possibility of armed demonstrations on Inauguration Day in Washington and in state capitals, according to an official with knowledge of the matter.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has extended a citywide emergency declaration through the day after the inauguration, explaining the “motivation (of those who stormed the Capitol) is ongoing.”

Bowser also said she requested that the Department of the Interior, which oversees the National Park Service, cancel and deny public gathering permits through Jan. 24.
