“The Capitol Police Board, a three-member body that makes security decisions for the Capitol complex, split 2-1 last week in favor of erecting a temporary security fence ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address,” Politico reports.
“The lone vote against the plan: William McFarland, the House’s newly minted sergeant at arms.”
“The security fencing has already been installed ahead of Biden’s address — but the split among the three board members marks a notable shift.“
