The Actual Swearing-In Ceremonies
Biden and Harris were sworn in, and while that part of the ceremony was — as always — short and sweet, both were momentous:
National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's Speech
Stirring up many emotions, young National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman made a huge impression with her words:
