On Wednesday, Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as the 46th president and the 49th vice president of the US. The theme of this historical day was “America United,” but the coronavirus pandemic and the fears of possible terrorist outbursts following recent riots at the US Capitol altered the ceremony.
Unlike Trump, Biden hoped his live audience would be the smallest, as people would tune in from the safety of their homes. And as for Trump himself, who hit the lowest low of support in his first and final term of the presidency, he was absent altogether. Check out people’s reactions to Trump's last days in the White House in our previous post right here.
But with Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez leading the concert in Washington, and Bernie Sanders, who looked like he “clearly left the car running for this one,” winning the inauguration, people online had plenty of things to reflect on on this big day which brought many of us some long-awaited peace. Let’s see what their reactions were in our hand-picked selection below.

AND I will not share my Happy Meal with you, because I am not happy at all.
Wasn’t she stunning? Amazing performance, and she overcame a speech impediment. Just like Joe,
My grandma’s face when I explained we do speak Spanish in America. She, like most Trump supporters, didn’t realize Puerto Ricans are American citizens and they predominantly speak Spanish.
I thought they should have left him behind to be raised by the Bidens.
Baron jokes are not fun to laugh at... he might be tall as a redwood, but he's still a kid
She's really happy to be done with everything... $100 says she goes back to live in New York
Lady Gaga told her designer, :I want to wear a business suit and a tutu." Fashion designer like, "I got you."
Yeah, we get it. This was the day that the trash got carried out and the White House got a thorough cleaning.
Trump, you won the "longest toddler tantrum of the decade" award.

The mockingjay became a symbol of freedom in the books so it is very fitting!
@Truth Monster why you such a troll and I thought with all those downvotes you would catch on nobody wanted to hear you.
I just realized something. Donald Trump was still president when Kamala Harris was sworn in as VP. Therefore for about 60 seconds she was Donald Trumps VP. 😳
What is wrong with this post????? Why is there so much negativity?? This has to be the most downvotes on comments I've ever seen!!! Wow you guys. We should be celebrating! Trump is out of office and there are people calling each other n-words. What is wrong with us? BP is better than this. The main reason that I love bp is the community! I don't love the community right now. We're better than this bp.
I am so relieved that after four long years, we are finally seeing the back of Trump
