The new look of the White House
President Biden was officially sworn in as the 46th president of the United States of America Wednesday, January 20, and Kamala Harris was sworn in as the 49th vice-president of the United states of America, becoming the first woman to occupy that seat. For the first time in our nation’s history, we have a second gentleman, the husband of Vice-President Harris, Douglas Emhoff.
In his inauguration speech, President Biden promises to be the president for all Americans. “Unity is the path forward,” Biden said. “I will be a president for all Americans;” a different tone and a different story from the previous administration. “I will work just as hard for those who didn’t support me.”
