At noon today, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, and the administration change at the highest level of the federal government will be felt all the way in the Valley.
Having served as vice president under President Barack Obama and as a Democratic senator representing the people of Delaware since 1973, Mr. Biden’s inauguration marks the culmination of a life devoted to public service.
He takes on his latest leadership role amidst the ongoing crises that have rocked an already deeply divided nation.
