Joe Biden and Kamala Harris swore as President and Vice President of US, social media react:
So finally, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as President and Vice-President of the United States respectively at the West Front of the US Capitol on Wednesday. Though this year’s inauguration was unlike any other in US history, the celebration still included the performances, tributes, and parades that we’re used to; however, it was before a small, socially distanced crowd in Washington DC.

Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, George W. Bush and his wife Laura, and Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton were among the top leaders who attended the ceremony.

Because of the recent incident of the siege on Capitol Hill and the rise in cases of Coronavirus, the event took place with high security and a sparse crowd. The ceremony was live-streamed.

It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, “of course” to Kamala’s grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right. pic.twitter.com/1gQOvmNipB

On the eve of his inauguration, Biden led a national mourning ceremony in Washington to pay tribute to those who had died of the novel coronavirus.
After addressing as the new president he changed some of the rules placed by former President Donald Trump. Among his first actions were orders to mandate the wearing of masks on all federal property, rejoin the Paris climate accord and boost federal support for underserved communities.
