The inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States will be a historic event for many reasons. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the swearing-in ceremony and inauguration procedures will be conducted with utmost precaution and safety measures. In addition, heavy security measures have been adopted to thwart any possible threats of violence from extremist supporters of President Donald Trump after they ravaged the US Capitol on January 6.
For the first time in 150 years, the president will not be attending the oath taking ceremony, creating more rift between the two presidents. Federal agencies have taken adequate measures to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. It must be mentioned here that in the past few weeks, federal authorities have detained many Capitol rioters and right-wing extremists who posed a threat to disrupt Biden’s inauguration event.
