The 2020 election was definitely one for the history books and this inauguration is shaping up to be quite unique.
Thanks to Covid, many of the events surrounding an inauguration will either not be held, will be virtual or scaled way back. And to set the tone for this new administration, last night Biden and Harris, with their respective spouses led a memorial to those who have died from Covid.
This is not the first time that the outgoing president refused to attend their successor's inauguration. This has happened three times before in history-John Adams 1801, John Quincy Adams 1829 and Andrew Johnson in 1869. If you are not familiar with the last president, he was the vice president and became president after Lincoln was assassinated.
For the first time in history, we will have a “2nd husband,” as Kamala Harris becomes the first woman vice president.
Take some time today to watch some of inauguration activities-there will be wide coverage on TV, Internet etc., and offer a prayer for those newly sworn in to steer our country to smoother waters.
