The recent assault on the Capitol building and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic have upended all aspects of the 59th presidential inauguration.
When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn into office tomorrow in Washington, D.C., many of the traditional activities, such as the parade and inaugural balls, will be done virtually or skipped altogether.
It won’t be the first time, however, that an inauguration goes by a different script. Though circumstances were largely different, many previous presidential transition ceremonies were modified due to ongoing events, extreme weather, or simply because of the personal preference of the new commander-in-chief. Some involved rodeo tricks and flocks of birds, while others featured rowdy parties at the White House. One inauguration was even suspected to be the cause of the new president s untimely death.
