Joe Biden has become the 46th president of the United States, vowing a "new day" for the United States after four years of tumult under Donald Trump who in an extraordinary final act snubbed the inauguration. Two weeks to the day after Trump supporters violently rampaged at the US Capitol to overturn the election results, Biden took the oath on the same very steps alongside Kamala Harris, who was sworn in moments earlier as the first woman vice president.
Americans overwhelmingly say that Trump is responsible on some level for the Capitol siege. 76% said Trump bears a "great deal" or "a lot" of responsibility. Less than one-fifth said the president is blameless for the riot at the Capitol. Trump was impeached over the Capitol siege on Wednesday, says Business Insider. This is the second impeachment for Trump, making him the only President to be impeached twice.
President Donald Trump urges Americans to be "united" and avoid violence in his first comments after being impeached -- while avoiding any mention of impeachment at all.
DC police officers outside the US Capitol salute a motorcade with the body of police officer Brian Sicknick, who died after a mob of US President Donald Trump's supporters invaded the building on Wednesday. The assault prompted calls to impeach Trump, but some Americans appear divided over the move.
The second round of stimulus checks from the US government are going out this week. Business Insider reports the checks will pay up to $600 each, or $1,200 per married couple, plus additional funds for children. According to Congress's bill authorizing the payments, most of the direct cash payments will be sent to qualifying Americans by January 15.
