Inauguration of Joe Biden

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States will mark the beginning of the four-year term of Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president.

A public ceremony will be held on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, on the West Front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The event will be the 59th presidential inauguration.

Biden will take the oath of office as president on that day, and Harris will take the oath of office as vice president.

All events will not have a lot of people because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[1] People will need to wear masks and temperature checks along with social distancing are likely to be used for the ceremony.[2]
