Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas plans to attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. This comes after weeks of elevating misinformation about the election results. Cruz has faced immense backlash and increasing pressure to resign following his objection. Biden has even criticized the Texas senator and said he should be defeated in 2024. Since November, Cruz has sown doubts into the electoral process, says Business Insider. Cruz's communications director, Lauren Blair Bianchi, also left her job in the wake of the siege.
President-elect Joe Biden received a dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech coronavirus vaccine on Monday afternoon. The first shot in a series of two was administered at ChristianaCare Hospital in Newark, Delaware.

Biden noted that the vaccine rollout was in the beginning stages and cautioned Americans about the long road ahead. According to CNN President-elect Biden cautioned Americans saying: "It's going to take time". Biden urged Americans in the meantime to listen to public health experts, wear masks and maintain social distance.
