What the Inauguration of President Joe Biden Was Really Like

Capitol Hill was jubilant as President Biden was sworn in alongside Vice President Harris- and I was lucky enough to attend.

The day of the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 46th President of the United States, dawned a clear and bright one. On Capitol Hill, D.C. luminaries, Democrats, Republicans, and yours truly, gathered to watch the swearing-in ceremony and welcome the new First Family to Washington.

After the events of two weeks ago, the U.S. Capitol was well-patrolled by members of the U.S armed forces. In addition to their hard work keeping the attendees and honorees safe from harm, a few of the soldiers were kind enough to pose for a photo.

Attending the actual inauguration began, as might be expected, with a rapid-results COVID-19 test.
