Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office, Vice President Kamala Harris. Don’t tell me things can’t change: US President Joe Biden.
Biden further said,” America has been tested & we’ve come out stronger for it. We will repair our alliances & engage once again. Not to meet yesterday’s challenges but today’s & tomorrow’s challenges. We’ll lead not merely by example of our power but the power of our example.”

On December 18, 2020 US President-elect Joe Biden marked the 48th anniversary of the accident that killed his first wife and baby daughter by attending Mass in Delaware at St. Joseph on the Brandywine, a Roman Catholic church. Neilia Biden and the couple’s 13-month old daughter, Naomi, were killed when their car was struck by a tractor-trailer as she took the kids to pick out a Christmas tree.
Joe Biden’s incoming orders are expected to reverse many of President Trump’s policies on the environment, immigration and COVID-19. https://t.co/HNxzrltQXU
