 Biden has officially become the 46th president of the United States.

Biden took the oath of office just before noon Wednesday during a ceremony at the US Capitol.

The presidential oath was administered by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

Biden was sworn in using a Bible that has been in his family since 1893 and was used during his swearing-in as vice president in 2009 and 2013.

History was made at Biden’s side, as Kamala Harris became the first woman to be vice president.

The ceremony in which presidential power is transferred is a hallowed American democratic tradition.

It’s devoid of crowds because of the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.
