President-elect Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff arrive at the steps of the U.S. Capitol for the start of the official inauguration ceremonies, in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021.
WASHINGTON Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration ceremony has begun.
Biden swears the oath of office at noon Wednesday, becoming the 46th president of the United States. The Democrat is preparing to take the helm of a deeply divided nation and inherit crises arguably greater than any faced by his predecessors.
Five members of Colorado s congressional delegation plan to attend President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration Wednesday in Washington, D.C., with most of the four skipping the event saying they ll watch remotely, citing last-minute changes to security and pandemic-related protocols.
Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States at 10 a.m. MT on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, capping a transfer of power marred by the deadly Jan. 6 riot when some supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump attempted to block certification of the election results.
Breaking with tradition and under a cloud of impeachment, Trump won t be in attendance â he departed for his home in Florida around 6 a.m. MT â and instead of hundreds of thousands of observers, only about 1,000 members of Congress, governors and other dignitaries will be on hand to watch Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris take the oath of office.
