A day of change. Joe Biden has been sworn-in as the President of the United States. Follow along below with the latest from the nation’s capitol.
2 p.m.
President Joe Biden called for unity after being sworn in to office as the 46th president of the United States.
The ceremony was held outside the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.
“The will of the people has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded. We’ve learned again that democracy is precious and democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed,” Biden said. “This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day. A day in history and hope, of renewal and resolve.”
Joe Biden took the oath of office just before noon today, taking the helm of a deeply divided nation and inheriting a confluence of crises arguably greater than any faced by his predecessors.
Joe Biden was inaugurated the 46th president of the United States January 20 in a ceremony on the west steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., bringing to an end one of the most tumultuous administrations in the 243-year history of the republic.
Kamala Harris, who served as San Francisco s district attorney, California attorney general, and U.S. senator from the Golden State, was sworn into office shortly before Biden, making history as the first woman, the first Black American, and the first Asian American to serve as vice president. Don t tell me things can t change, Biden said during his inaugural address regarding Harris historic swearing-in.
