Distant but devoted, Arizona's Biden supporters gear up for virtual inauguration WASHINGTON – In any other year, Ak-Chin Chairman Robert Miguel would have headed to Washington to be part of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. But Miguel will instead be watching the swearing-in from home, one of the thousands who would normally have flooded Washington this week but were told to stay home because of COVID-19 and the security concerns following the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. “I wish I could have been there, I got invited, definitely,” Miguel said Tuesday. “But again, through the travel restrictions and the COVID at a high, especially here in Arizona, we felt the best way for me to participate was through virtual video and what not.”
