On Wednesday, January 20, 2021, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the United States' 46th President.  Kamala Harris, formerly US Senator from California and our Attorney General, will be sworn in as Vice President.  The inauguration will be historic and unprecedented, given the recent insurrection on Capitol Hill and subsequent impeachment of Donald Trump, as well as the pandemic, protests over racial injustice, and economic suffering.
