Stage Set For Biden s Inauguration
WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Stage is set outside the Capitol for Joseph R. Biden, Jr. to be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States at noon Wednesday. Biden, 78, and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, 56, will be sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
Born to parents of Indian and Jamaican origins, Harris will become the first colored Asian-American to be elevated to the post. She will also become the first woman U.S. Vice President.
Biden helmed a Democratic return to power by defeating incumbent President Donald Trump in the hotly contested presidential election. Trump, who has not yet conceded defeat alleging that his opponent stole the election, will depart the White House on Wednesday morning, breaking the long-held tradition of welcoming the incoming President and attending the inaugural ceremony.
