Security Measures Heightened at Capitol and White House as Biden Prepares for Non-Re-election Announcement on July 24

Security measures are being heightened around key government buildings in Washington, D.C., with barricades and fences being erected around both the Capitol and the White House. This increase in security comes ahead of President Joe Biden's televised address, where he is expected to announce his decision not to seek re-election. Contractors have been seen installing these barriers, extending the security perimeter in anticipation of the address. The heightened security reflects concerns surrounding the announcement and the political climate leading up to the upcoming elections.
