US President-elect Biden's 46th inauguration ceremony began.
President-elect Biden appeared at the inauguration hall around 11:20 am local time, wearing a mask with Mrs. Jill Biden, on the outdoor stage of the Washington DC Federal Capitol.
Biden made an oath of inauguration, saying, "I will faithfully fulfill the duties of President and defend the Constitution," and through his inaugural address, he unveils his future plans for state affairs.
Biden begins his presidency at noon local time.
At the inauguration ceremony, the vice president-elect Kamala Harris, who will be the first female vice president in history, also attends and makes an oath of inauguration.
In addition, former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama attended to congratulate the elect.
On the day of the inauguration ceremony, the traditionally outgoing predecessor and the elect have met at the White House, chatted, and moved to the inauguration hall together, but instead of attending the inauguration ceremony, President Trump headed to Florida, where he boarded the Presidential Air Force One.
Until now, the presidential inauguration ceremony was a festival-like event where hundreds of thousands of people flocked to share joy, but this year, 25,000 National Guards instead of the general crowd surrounded Washington DC due to fears of armed protests due to the Corona 19 pandemic. .
