New York, Jan 18 : On January 20, presidential pooches Champ and Major Biden will mark the return of First Pets to the White House after four years of outgoing President Donald Trumps pet-free reign. A cat is also said to be in the running to join the furry sidekicks.
German shepherds Major and Champ will be rolling in with the Bidens as they move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day. Major is 2, Champ 12.
The inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will no doubt be historic, not only because of who is being elected into the positions but because of the context of what is taking place in the world as they are being sworn into power.
Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller said there was no proof of an insider threat
A fire under a bridge near the Capitol building produced huge plumes of smoke on Monday morning
It sent the nearby rehearsal into a panic and staffers ran for their lives from the bleachers set up
A loudspeaker announcement played warning people to evacuate; no public officials were in attendance
Staffers in nearby buildings were told to stay away from windows and the military was evacuated
The fire department later tweeted that the smoke came from a fire beneath a bridge a short distance away
