![Wearing a Ralph Lauren suit in his signature campaign color of navy blue, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. stood today in front of the Capitol where, just two weeks ago, protestors violently stormed the Capitol building. Facing a limited crowd and a sea of American flags on the National Mall, Biden delivered some of his first words as the 46th president of the United States: “This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.”
Just hours after he and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in at the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, President Biden signed over 17 executive orders that dismantled policies central to former President Trump’s legacy, including rejoining the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement as well as other executive orders on student debt and the border wall.
“What I’m most hopeful [for] is a change in tone and a sense of working on a common problem, the coronavirus [pan]demic, and addressing those problems. Just a more positive tone, and a sense of, we’re doing it, we’re working on it,” upper school history teacher Byron Stevens said.
Harris made history by becoming the first woman, first Black person and first person of Asian descent to hold national office as vice president.
