President Biden now gives his inaugural address where he congratulates Vice President Kamala Harris on becoming the first Black and South-Asian American woman to hold this office.
President Biden goes on to pledge that he will be a just president.
“I will be a president for all Americans…And I’ll fight as hard for those who didn’t support me as much as for those who did.”
The 46th President speaks of his devotion to his office, and the reasons he ran for the presidency.
He also talks about the importance of defending the truth and defeating the lies.
Biden reminds us that America has been tested by a raging virus, attacks on our democracy, climate changes and other cascading crises, but that the country has been proven strong.
He asked, “Will me meet our obligations and pass on a better world for our children?”
President Biden encouraged us to write the next chapter of the American story.
“…America, America, I gave my best to you,” he recited.
