WASHINGTON – President-elect Joe Biden s Inauguration looked much different than those in years past, particularly when it came to who will not be in attendance.
Presidential inaugurations typically are attended by hundreds of dignitaries – including former presidents, Supreme Court justices and members of Congress – while hundreds of thousands of spectators spill out across the National Mall to witness the ceremonies.
Instead, in lieu of massive crowds, a public art exhibition was erected on the National Mall to represent the American people who are unable to travel to the capitol for the inauguration.
In addition to the public, several prominent people, including some lawmakers, announced they would not attend because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed more than 400,000 people nationally, or because of security concerns following a breach on the Capitol building two weeks ago.
A native of Scranton, Pa., Joe Biden takes office as America's 46th president. Democratic lawmakers projected hope and optimism, while Republicans said they would collaborate but won't compromise.
