WASHINGTON - The inauguration celebration for president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris is underway this week, with events, concerts and more from the Presidential Inauguration Committee on the schedule.
Several changes are in store this year as the country grapples with both the COVID-19 pandemic and heightened security after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Thousands of National Guard troops are stationed around Washington, D.C. limiting the public’s exposure to the events, though some events were already planned to be virtual.
