WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Overwhelmed during the deadly attack on Congress by President Donald Trump s supporters last week, U.S. security forces are mounting a national operation to thwart any violence before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
Federal and state officials are evaluating online threats and menacing messages to members of Congress and making sure the security operation has the force to repel an attack.
The incoming Biden administration has significantly ramped up security around his team ahead of the Jan. 20 inauguration.

Gov. Jared Polis delivers a statewide address on the COVID-19 pandemic on April 8, 2020.
As the pandemic nears its one year mark, Gov. Jared Polis has issued more than 260 executive orders aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19. He says he can’t wait until they all expire.
“You know each one is difficult, and thoughtful and predicated by science,” he said in an interview with Rocky Mountain Community Radio.
