No. 3 - Heightened Security in Washington D.C. Ahead of Inauguration
A week before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, Washington D.C. is gearing up for potential violence, with National Guard troops stationed at the U.S. Capitol and a lockdown being employed across the region.
Mayor Muriel Bowser is heightening security after the FBI’s warning that armed protests by violent Trump supporters were being planned in all 50 state capitals, as well as in Washington for the days leading up to the inauguration.
Between the pandemic and the security threat, Bowser is flat-out asking people not to come to the District of Columbia for the inauguration.

No. 6 - Rubio Argues Trump Could Emerge a ‘Martyr,’ Stronger From Impeachment
Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida's senior senator, is warning that impeachment -- which he opposed -- could turn Donald Trump into a "martyr."
"It’s like pouring gasoline on fire. And, by the way, I think a lot of the people who are out there for the first time, after seeing what happened last week, sort of reckoning with the last four years, now all of a sudden they’re circling the wagons and it threatens to make him a martyr."
On Wednesday, Rubio told NBC 6 that the president, who a bipartisan majority of the House found incited a mob to insurrection leading to five deaths on the Capitol grounds, should not have been impeached.
