According to the military branch, Biden has asked 29,000 soldiers for the event, which is scheduled for next Wednesday, January 20. The Puerto Rican group was due to leave Luis Muñoz Marín airport on Isla Verde tomorrow.
Military support has been caught a glimpse since early yesterday, when the United States House of Representatives would vote on Trump’s residency.
Indeed, in the afternoon, the legislative body approved the impeachment by 232 votes to 197 against, with 10 Republican congressmen joining the majority.
Now it would be up to the Senate to conduct the political trial against the president, who has been the first to attend twice, but the outlook is not very clear and the trial is not expected to end before the inauguration of the new administration.
Likewise, another reason Biden’s Transition Committee has asked for more reinforcement for the ceremony could be the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) itself warned authorities that it is planning dozens of pro-Trump protests in every state.
