SOUTHEASTERN NC — All eyes were on America as the transition of power from one president to another went smoothly amid heightened concerns of danger from potential domestic terrorism. Security was ramped up at the Capitol and across DC for the 46th Presidential Inauguration after an angry mob of Trump supporters raided the Senate chambers a short two weeks ago.
Even though soldiers (15,000) outnumbered pared-down crowds (2,000), the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris continued as planned — though it looked much different in the time of Covid-19.
