About Inauguration of Joe Biden in brief
The inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States will mark the commencement of the four-year term of Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president. Festivities are likely to be limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Biden will become the oldest president at 78 years and 61 days, older upon taking office than Ronald Reagan, who left office at 77 years, 349 days. It has been speculated that Trump may not attend the ceremony, the fourth time in United States history a departing president would refuse to attend their successor’s inauguration, and rather announce a 2024 re-election campaign.
An inaugural first nail ceremony, which traditionally commemorates the start of construction of the inaugural platform, was not held because it “coincided with the period of remembrance for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.” The committee chose the inaugural theme “Our Determined Democracy: Forging a More Perfect Union” to highlight the inaugural ceremony as a “hallmark of American governance and democracy” and stress the peaceful transition of power. The committee is led by Tony Allen, Maju Varghese, and Yvanna Cancela and Erin Wilson.
