What Went Down During Joe Biden’s Inauguration

Biden is clearly describing domestic terrorism as one of the primary threats to the nation, alongside the pandemic and joblessness.

Biden quotes Lincoln, saying, “My whole soul is in it.” “It” being uniting America.

Biden doesn’t wait long to reference the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, saying that despite that, “we come together as one nation under God” to carry out the peaceful transfer of power. And as we’ve already discussed on this live blog, it’s not actually clear whether today really qualifies as a peaceful transfer of power, considering thousands of National Guard troops have to stand guard at the Capitol to carry out this change in administration.
