This morning, Joe Biden protested as the 46th president of the United States, preceded by the term of now ex-president Donald Trump, who lost the general election held on November 3 and consequently started an insurrection on the Capitol where Trump's supporters violently stormed into the polling station to ratify Biden's victory.
Before President Joe Biden's inauguration, the incoming president declared, "It's a new day in America.
US Vice President Kamala Harris was one of the first voices on Twitter to speak out on the issue, accompanied by a video that empowers generations of African descent, Latinos and others. "I'm here because of the women who came before me.
#BidenHarrisInauguration took the top spot in Twitter trends this morning to celebrate the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. However, other labels also quickly became a trend celebrating the departure of what media outlets such as CNN have called the "end of the era of domestic terrorism" with #ByeByeTrump, #TrumpsLastDay.
The Biden Inaugural Committee then tweeted: "@JoeBiden is the President of the United States".
Lady Gaga, the contemporary icon of Pop music, at her presentation of the National Anthem at the Capitol, said: "My intention is to acknowledge our past in order to heal our present; and passionate about a future where we work together with love. I will sing for the hearts of all the people who live on this earth. Respectfully and generously, Lady Gaga," she said.
Gavin Newsom, governor of the state of California, also joined the conversation, saying: "It is a hopeful and inspiring day in America. Our country is founded on our ideal of democracy and the peaceful transition of power. Today, history was made with President Joe Biden and California Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, let us come together to be the America we know we can be.
Other people on Twitter shared impressive images of how Kamala Harris is the first woman to take the position of vice president.
Jennifer Lopez, who also attended Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris' opening ceremony, tweeted: "What an honor it is to spend a few moments with these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I will honor them today and every day. Tomorrow, I will sing for you and for all Americans.
Minutes after the inauguration event, President Joe Biden tweeted from the official US presidential account that had previously been in the hands of Donald Trump and which did not keep the tweets or followers he had accumulated:
Barack Obama, the first African-American president, congratulated Biden: "Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! It's your time."
Hillary Clinton, once a candidate for the U.S. presidency, spoke about the position of vice president now held by Kamala Harris: "I am delighted to think that what seems historic and surprising today - a woman who took over the vice presidency - will seem normal, obvious and evident to her granddaughters as they grow up. And they will be right.
Former President Bill Clinton said the ceremony "affirms our democracy and celebrates the best that America stands for.
