Book Festival Security
SUMMARY: Former Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to speak at the Mississippi Book Festival, promoting his presidential campaign and his book. Due to his involvement in the controversial January 6th riots at the Capitol, increased security is expected for his appearance. Capitol Police Chief Bo Luckey has stated that there will be a higher police presence as a result. Additionally, Capital City Pride withdrew its support for the festival because of Pence's appearance, but is still expected to have a visible presence. There is also the potential for pro-Trump supporters to protest due to Pence's refusal to overturn the election.
