BOWSER: "We are absolutely prepared. We are especially prepared for the Congress doing its job, affirming the Electoral College, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris becoming the next president and vice president of the United States and turning the page on this Trump era. We, of course, prepare for First Amendment demonstrations all the time in Washington, D.C.. Our Metropolitan Police Department is on it. We have the support of our D.C. National Guard. We have the support of our neighbors and we are very prepared to have a peaceful protest."
