This Wednesday, January 20, 2021, marks a day long awaited by the Americans. In almost 10 hours, Joe Biden will be invested 46th President of the United States, during a fairly special inauguration ceremony due to anti-Cavid restrictions.
The attack on the Capitol still in memory, the security context will anchor the uniqueness of this unparalleled ceremony in the history of Washington.
Also, the coronavirus imposed its rules at the National Mall: to avoid congestion, 190,000 flags in the United States and American states were installed on the lawn, replacing the public who will not be able to attend the nomination.
The absent absent, however, remains the outgoing president, Donald Trump, who will sulk the ceremony. “To all those who asked the question, I will not go to the inauguration on January 20,” he tweeted at the beginning of the month.
It is singer Lady Gaga who will kick off, singing the national anthem before Kamala Harris, first woman vice-president, will take an oath.
