Late. Klobuchar talks about his role in Monday’s inauguration ceremony

Despite their political differences, Sen. Amy Klobuchar will play a big role in President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

In less than 24 hours, Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States in a ceremony watched by millions.

Klobuchar and five other lawmakers are planning the big event. She chairs the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.

“Even though we have big differences of opinion on politics and things like that, I want to make sure this works,” Klobuchar said of the ceremony.

She says she took the job on the committee a year ago and wants to be with Trump and Biden when they meet at the White House and travel to the inauguration.

Thousands of law enforcement and National Guard members help with security — something Klobuchar says she has played a role in increasing security measures.

“One of the things I did as chair of the Rules Committee after Jan. 6 was to have a major safety review,” she said.

She added that since then there has been better coordination with the Secret Service and Homeland Security.

“You can’t predict every security event that could happen, as we know from the assassination attempt on the incoming president, but you have to prepare and adapt and be ready for anything,” she said. “And I know that our security forces are very prepared, whether it was outdoors or indoors.”
