Good morning.
Joe Biden will become U.S. president in a few hours. Donald Trump waited until after midnight ET to announce a long list of pardons and commutations, and added a particularly controversial name to the list. We are set for unseasonably warm temperatures today. And the Winnipeg Jets won in their second road game of the season.

Set to be sworn in: Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. will become the 46th president of the United States when he is sworn in at noon ET. After a pared-down ceremony at the U.S. Capitol amid security concerns and pandemic protocols, Biden will sign 15 executive orders as he quickly begins the work of dismantling Trump’s policies.
