Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take their oaths of office as President and Vice-President of the United States (US) of America at a time like no other in history. Many historians agree that not even the emergence of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who took office in 1933 during the great depression, compares.
They ascend the much coveted office as leaders of the free world at a time the world is in untold turmoil, being ravaged by a debilitating COVID-19 pandemic, which has not only claimed more than two million lives, but continues to ruin the global economy, cause extreme hunger, increase unemployment, disrupt formal education and alter humankind’s way of life for good.
