Sen. Gillibrand: ‘I Have Faith’ Inauguration Will Be Held Safely

‘I do have faith that our teams on the ground will be able to allow for a peaceful transition of power’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "And do you think the inauguration can be held safely including especially the swearing-in outdoors?"
GILLIBRAND: "I do. We have our greatest security minds who have been working on this since May. They understand what happened on January 6th. We are far more prepared and have a strategy for safety and security for every person who is present. I do believe the presence of the National Guard around the Capitol is a real show of force and is creating a sense of calmness as well as a sense of security. And so I do have faith that our teams on the ground will be able to allow for a peaceful transition of power and an inauguration that people cannot only be inspired by but be proud of."
