Democrats Joe Biden is now the President of USA. He was sworn in as president on Wednesday, He vows to end the 'uncivil war' in a deeply divided country reeling from a battered economy and a raging coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans. He took the oath of offices administered by US Chief Justice John Roberts and became the oldest US president in history at age 78.Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, became the first Black person, first woman and first Asian American to serve as vice president after she was sworn in by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court's first Latina member.
In his inaugural speech, he said to overcome challenges to restore the soul and secure the future of America requires so much more than words. It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: unity, and added "We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this - if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts."
US President Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders to launch his administration Wednesday, including a decision to rejoin the Paris climate accord and a mask mandate for all federal buildings.The orders included keeping the United States in the World Health Organization, ending the ban on entries from mostly Muslim-majority countries, bolstering environmental protections and strengthening the fight against Covid-19. Also among the directives was a halt to construction of the wall on the US-Mexico border, and efforts to expand diversity and equality for minority groups in the federal government.
The orders were aimed at reversing decisions by his predecessor Donald Trump and setting a clear policy path for Biden's new administration, just hours after he was sworn in as president."Some of things we are going to be doing are going to be bold," he said in the Oval Office. He said his actions on the Covid-19 pandemic, which has claimed 400,000 American lives, would help change the course of the crisis.
