The transfer of power in the U.S. appears peaceful, but deep-seated tensions linger, especially regarding the January 6 Capitol riots. Supporters of those convicted from the riots gather daily outside a Washington prison, echoing calls for their release. Donald Trump labels them as ‘political prisoners’ and promises to pardon them, igniting debate about justice and accountability. Meanwhile, the narrative of a stolen election persists among some, in stark contrast to the views of law enforcement officials who defended the Capitol that day.
