Joe Biden Takes Oath Of Office In Capital Under Lockdown

U.S. President Joe Biden addresses the nation during a "Celebrating America" event at the Lincoln Memorial following the 59th presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. Biden began his presidency with a soaring appeal to end Americas "uncivil war" and reset the tone in Washington, delivering an inaugural address that dispensed with a laundry list of policy goals to instead confront the nation's glaring political divides as the foremost obstacle to moving the country forward.
