Joe Biden ready to take office, historic swearing in ceremony

Joe Biden of the Democratic Party will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

On Wednesday, January 20, US President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris are to be sworn in. Joe Biden of the Democratic Party will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. A lot of preparations have been made about this special event which will make this event historic. Fear of the Corona virus crisis and possible violence is also to be done with great regard for safety.

The swearing-in ceremony is being held in the US amid rising cases of Corona virus infection and the suspicion of violence. Such situations have rarely happened before in the history of American democracy.

About 2 lakh tickets will be distributed

The Congress will distribute about 2 lakh tickets to its members and those who do not have these tickets will be asked to watch the event from the National Mall as per tradition.

More than 1 million people attended the historic swearing-in ceremony of Barack Obama. In 2017, around 3 lakh people attended the swearing-in ceremony of US President Trump.

But this year there is an alert about safety and health restrictions are in place. Ajay Bhutoria, Vice-Chairperson of the Biden Inauguration Committee, while talking to Quint, has told that in the 2021 swearing-in ceremony, a member of Congress (+1) has been reserved.

‘United America’ will be the theme of the ceremony

The theme of ‘United America’ will be seen during the swearing-in ceremony.

In the history of America and from the perspective of world conditions, Biden and Kamala are holding their positions in unprecedented times. 3.7 lakh American people have lost their lives due to Corona virus. Millions of people are struggling with economic problems due to the economic slowdown that has come across the world.

Apart from this, the attack on Capitol Hill on 6 January has indicated that political polarization is at the peak in America.

Talking to Quint, Bhutoria told that at a time when we are in crisis, polarization is hurting. At this time, the theme of the program, United America, states that now we Americans are making a new beginning, which will restore the soul of America. In this program, Biden’s plans to keep the country united will be seen, which will create a golden future. ‘

The swearing-in ceremony of President Elect Joe Biden will take place in the western part of the Capitol Building. This is exactly the place where such a big incident of violence and sabotage was witnessed only a week ago.

Virtual parade

In the US, there has been a tradition of performing inaugural parades after swearing. But this time it is not possible due to Corona virus crisis. Therefore, television special Inagural Day parade has been prepared for this day. The parade will be completely virtual. The American public can join this parade just by sitting in their house.

The 90-minute special program will be hosted by famous Hollywood star Tom Hanks. During this time big stars like Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, John Bon Jovi will showcase their art.

Speaking to Quint, Bhutoria clearly said that the current President of America Donald Trump will not attend Biden’s swearing-in ceremony. However, Vice President Mike Pence will certainly be a participant in the ceremony.
