The U.S. Capitol Police officer who potentially saved the lives of legislators with his quick thinking during the Capitol riot earlier this month escorted Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to the inauguration.

Following officer Eugene Goodman’s actions as the mob descended upon the Capitol, he was promoted to acting deputy Senate sergeant-at-arms, and in that capacity, is a part of the official escorts staying with Harris on her way to the platform outside the Capitol where she will be sworn-in, according to multiple reports. He was greeted with cheers as he entered the inauguration area, walking ahead of Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff.
