The 26,000 National Guard troops stationed in Washington, D.C., were ready for anything, but Inauguration Day passed without them facing a single security problem.

"There were no security incidents reported involving the National Guard," according to a National Guard Bureau news release.

He said the next step will be to ensure that federal law enforcement's security needs are satisfied before troops begin to redeploy.

"We will continue to support federal law enforcement as requested," Hokanson said in the release. "Our Guard members will return home as soon as conditions permit."

The force could shrink rapidly, but at a minimum, the 6,200 Guard members mobilized Jan. 7 following the Capitol breach will remain in Washington through Feb. 7–, he told reporters Tuesday. The rest were requested by federal law enforcement to support the inauguration.

A Democratic Party headquarters was damaged, an American flag burned, and marchers filled the streets in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday, following Biden’s inauguration. Antifa was reportedly behind the activity, known during the summer as “peaceful protests.”

The New York Times reported that “federal agents in camouflage — now working under the Biden administration — blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown.”

TRUMP / POMPEO I would vote for that !

After one day of life under the Biden administration, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has a reminder for the new president: his days are numbered.

Pompeo shared a countdown to Election Day 2024 in a tweet Thursday morning, simply writing, "1,384 days."

Pompeo's tweet prompted speculation from social media users who think the Kansas Republican may be vying for the nation's highest office. Rachel Vindman, who is married to the lieutenant colonel who testified against former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial, dismissed any future candidacy from the former secretary of state.

"Until you're still not president?" she wrote.

If Pompeo does decide to jump into the fray in 2024, he will likely face steep competition. Among dozens of other Republicans whose names have been floated as possible contenders, Pompeo's former boss has hinted at a potential return to the White House. Flanked by 17 American flags and a crowd of supporters on Wednesday, the former president bid the nation farewell while also vowing a return.
