Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Inauguration Live Updates: US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have arrived at the Capitol ahead of their swearing-in ceremony. Ahead of his swearing-in ceremony, US President-elect Joe Biden attended a service at Washingtons’ Cathedral of St Matthew the Apostle with incoming first lady Jill Biden on Wednesday. “It’s a new day in America,” he tweeted.
