Welcome to the Oval Office, Joe Biden. Today, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in as the 46th president and 49th vice president, respectively, of the United States. The inauguration serves as the conclusion of a lengthy and contentious electoral process that culminated in an attack on the Capitol on January 6, the effects of which the Biden-Harris administration will be forced to contend with in its first days.
But that’s tomorrow’s problem. This afternoon, we watch democracy in action as Biden is sworn in and gives his inaugural address as president — and Americans won’t want to miss it. What time is inauguration today? Where do I watch live inauguration coverage? Here’s everything you need to know.
WHAT TIME DOES THE INAUGURATION START?
Today’s inauguration officially begins at noon, but coverage of the event has already begun. Most networks began their coverage in the early hours of the morning and will continue to livestream the event throughout the afternoon.
WHEN WILL BIDEN BE SWORN INTO OFFICE?
Joe Biden’s swearing-in ceremony will begin at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT today, Wednesday, January 20. Afterwards, he will give an inaugural address, which will be broadcast live across the television and streaming landscape.
