Biden-Harris Inauguration.
Amid extra security measures due to the Jan 6 attack by Trump’s supporters, Joe Biden takes the oath of office and gives the inaugural address. In a historic milestone, Kamala Harris is sworn in as the first woman, first Black, and first Asian American Vice President by the first Latina Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor.
