Elect Joe Biden takes office as the 46th President of the United States on the 20th local time.

The President’s inauguration, held every four years in the West Square of the Capitol, is a huge political event that the United States and the world observe.

The Biden Inauguration Preparatory Committee stated that the theme of the inauguration ceremony was’United States.

“Now it’s time to turn the page on the era of division,” said Tony Allen, president of Delaware State University, who chairs the inauguration preparation committee.

Instead of gathering spectators in consideration of the corona 19 pandemic around the inauguration hall, it is said that flags representing all states and territories of the United States, more than 190,000 American flags of various sizes, and pillars of light made of lights will be installed.

The committee says that Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and former Presidents of Bill Clinton will also attend the inauguration ceremony with their spouses.

But before and after the inauguration ceremony in the US government, fears of recurrence of violent protests by extremists who support Trump are growing.

The Washington Post and CNN have reported on Trump support sites that there are postings inciting violent protests such as “Let’s burn Washington DC” and “Let’s make a million military marches.”

Separately, Trump supporters have announced on Facebook that they will hold the’second virtual inauguration of President Trump’ on the day of Biden’s inauguration.

It is not known whether President Trump, who has declared absent from President Biden’s inauguration ceremony, will participate in the’second inauguration ceremony’ prepared by his supporters.
