The 2021 Presidential Inauguration looks a little different from past events, but change can be good and today is proof of that.
In consideration of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Presidential Inauguration Committee decided to skip the usual Inaugural Ball in favor of the star-studded TV special Celebrating America.
