Security fencing has been put up outside the White House and businesses nearby were boarded up amid fears of political violence in the wake of the 2024 presidential election.
Business owners, residents and federal workers in Washington DC have taken steps to protect themselves and their properties as Americans went to the polls yesterday.
In downtown DC, local businesses boarded up their storefronts in preparation for any protests that may emerge. Large metal fences were erected around government buildings including the Treasury Department and near vice-president Kamala Harris’s residence.
