As the Biden-Harris administration was officially etched onto the pages of American history during yesterday’s inauguration, the nation’s 46th president made it clear he plans to heavily prioritize national healing, bipartisanship, and unity–a word he used eleven times throughout his inaugural address.

“We’ll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do…much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build, and much to gain,” Biden said before a small, socially distanced crowd in front of the Capital on Wednesday.

Though former president Donald Trump spent the day at his golf club in Palm Beach, Florida, former vice president Mike Pence still attended the ceremony. As a bipartisan gesture, the second Catholic president in US history invited congressional minority and majority leaders from both parties to attend a church mass with him that morning.

At 78, Biden takes the record from Trump as the nation’s oldest president. His vice presidential pick, former San Francisco prosecutor Kamala Harris, carried on the campaign’s uplifting theme of unity. “We must believe in ourselves, believe in our country, and believe in what we can do–together,” Harris Tweeted from Washington.
