President-elect Joe Biden said his January inauguration is likely to resemble the largely virtual Democratic National Convention last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic

, and he said he would emphasize safety to avoid spreading the virus.

“My guess is there will not be a gigantic inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. But my guess is you’ll see a lot of virtual activity in states all across America,” Mr. Biden said Friday in Wilmington, Del. He said it was “highly unlikely” that millions of people would gather at the National Mall as part of the festivities.

“I think you’re going to see something that is closer to what the convention was like than a typical inauguration,” he said. Mr. Biden said his transition team was holding discussions with congressional leaders in preparations for the events planned on Jan. 20, when he is scheduled to be sworn-in as the nation’s 46th president. Public health officials have continued to warn against large gatherings as coronavirus cases have skyrocketed across the country.

“First and foremost, my objective is to keep America safe but still allow people to celebrate,“ Mr. Biden said. ”People want to celebrate. People want to be able to say we’ve passed the baton. We’re moving on and democracy is functioning.”

Well because he’s a virtual President. Trump’s inauguration for second term will be glorious and real.

Joe, That's a good idea. Keep it simple, just for History.

I doubt we will see an inauguration of the Cheater-Elect. Get real.

Send us invites!!

Biden is likely to become the Emperor’s New Clothes. His flashy new clothes has been seen only by the mainstream media and some “wise” men.

Till Donald Trump concedes he is not President-elect

HE soft ... Cc HiM gather the entire government together ... make it mandatory so they can pass covid to eachother like they making us do 😷 trubaba

If the inauguration will be for him. There will be a inauguration, I don’t believe it’s for Joe’s

The D Convention was creative and exciting. Glad to hear inauguration will be in the same vein.

So, president-elect Biden will display mature leadership and competent public health modeling. How rfreshing.

I can just hear Trump brag about the size of his crowd....lmao
