About the Inauguration
In the wake of the violent and deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be unlike any other in American history.
Harris is set to make history when she is sworn in as the first woman of color to be vice president.
Inaugurations are usually a jubilant celebration of the peaceful transfer of power in the world’s oldest democracy. But not this year. In addition to the added security measures, spectators have been asked not to attend, and the outgoing president will not be in attendance – for the first time in over 100 years.
Following Biden’s inaugural address, there will be a wreath-laying at Arlington National Cemetery with other first families. Then there will be a virtual parade will air featuring performances from across the U.S.
At 8 PM ABC News will present, “The Inauguration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr. – An ABC News Special,” that will provide reporting on the historic moments from the day.
Then, at 8:30 PM ABC will air “Celebrating America,” the primetime special previously announced by the Presidential Inaugural Committee, including performances from Bon Jovi and Demi Lovato among others. The event will be hosted by Tom Hanks.
