Discussion Thread: The Inauguration of President Joseph R. Biden and Vice President Kamala D. Harris | 01/20/2021 - Live 11:00 AM ET | Part II

Posted: 20 Jan 2021 08:22 AM PST

Joseph R. Biden and Kamala D. Harris will take the Oath of Office today, becoming the 46th President and Vice President of the United States of America.

Today's inauguration is unprecedented, for a number of reasons. Among them, Kamala Harris will become the first woman to serve as Vice President. Meanwhile, the ceremony itself will look markedly different, with limited audience due to COVID-19 restrictions, and a drastically increased security presence in response to concerns as a result of the insurrection at the Capitol on 1/6/2021.

Incoming President Biden's Inauguration speech is expected to be 20-30 minutes long with a focus on unity and a need to bring the county together. Widespread reports are that the Biden Administration has already laid out ambitious plans to overhaul immigration policy, address Climate Change, combat COVID-19 and provide economic relief to those affected by the pandemic during their first 100 days in office.


Official Inauguration proceedings are expected to begin at 11:00 AM ET, and will proceed throughout the day. A rough schedule of events can be found below. Please note that all times are approximate and ET.
