A new era: Ohio Congress members who attended President Joe Biden’s inauguration hope for less rancor during his administration, Sabrina Eaton reports. “I’m hopeful that as we enter the 117th Congress, we can leave the toxic red team versus blue team mentality at the door and remember how to work together as Americans,” said a representative statement from Bainbridge Township Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce.
With every inauguration, a painting is displayed at the luncheon that follows the ceremony.
Chosen by incoming first lady Jill Biden and presented by Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, the inaugural painting is by 19th century landscape artist Robert S. Duncanson.
Titled Landscape With Rainbow, the work depicts a pastoral scene.
With every inauguration, a painting is meant to be displayed at the luncheon that follows the swearing-in ceremony. However this year, the luncheon was cancelled as President Biden took a private meal before retreating to his new office to start his four-year journey.
Instead of a luncheon, the inauguration painting, owned by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, was displayed at a reception to commemorate the ceremony at the Capitol.
