Biden, Harris leave US Capitol after inauguration

Al Jazeera, 21 Jan 2021
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have left the United States Capitol after both being sworn into office.
Biden called the coming days “a time of testing”.
“We face an attack on our democracy and truth, a raging virus, growing inequity, the sting of systemic racism, a climate in crisis, America’s role in the world,” Biden said.
“Any one of the these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways. But the fact is, we face them all at once, presenting this nation with one of the gravest responsibilities we’ve had,” Biden said.
Biden is expected to head to the White House, where he will sign a flurry of executive orders, including halting construction of Trump’s border wall and reversing the travel ban that targets predominantly Muslim countries.
