‘Democracy’s day’: Joe Biden sworn in as US president

Al Jazeera  

Biden takes over from Donald Trump at a moment of deep division in the country, which is reeling from COVID-19. I will be listening,” Trump said, adding: “We will be back in some form.” The inauguration took place amid ongoing security concerns in the US capital in the aftermath of a deadly riot on January 6, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building as Congress met to certify Biden’s election victory. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Biden taking the helm was a “good day for democracy”, while EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the US was “back”. Prior to the inauguration, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he shared Joe Biden’s policy priorities: “ pandemic, economic reactivation and migration.” Challenges ahead Political observers said, however, that Biden faces big challenges ahead. Paul Beck, a professor emeritus of political science at Ohio State University, told Al Jazeera the US remained “a deeply polarised country” and Biden’s first key priority as US president – tackling the COVID-19 pandemic – will be a “huge challenge”.
