Inauguration 2021: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris sworn-in as US President, Vice-President | FULL

Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday after several tumultuous, but unsuccessful, weeks of attempts to overturn the official results of the U.S. election.

The event itself was relatively empty — there are no excited supporters gathered beneath a platform at the Capitol. Many of the roughly 1,000 guests in attendance are members of Congress and their guests, and former presidents, vice-presidents, and first ladies.

Biden and his vice-president, Kamala Harris, were inaugurated shortly before 12 p.m. ET, making Harris the first Black and first East-Indian American woman to assume the role.

Biden delivered his inaugural address shortly after being sworn in. It was the new president’s first chance to lay out an official agenda to Americans watching from home.

He vowed to end the “uncivil war” in a deeply divided country reeling from a battered economy and grappling with a historic pandemic.
