U.S-Joe Biden formally sworn in as 46th US president

Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, officially beginning his four-year term.

Biden’s oath was delivered by Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts Jr. This year’s inauguration signals a return of the Democratic Party to the White House after four years. Earlier, Vice President Kamala Harris took her oath.

This year’s inauguration varies from earlier ones as its attendance is restricted to approximately 1,000 people due to the coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, outgoing President Donald Trump refused to attend the event thus breaking the tradition and becoming the first president in 152 years to skip his successor’s inauguration.
