In his first speech as president of the United States, Joe Biden focused on a message of unity and tolerance and said “this is America’s day” and “democracy’s day”.
He said: “Democracy has prevailed.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed Biden and said he hoped to continue a strong relationship with the US, writing on Twitter: “Congratulations to Joe Biden on being sworn in as President of the United States and to Kamala Harris on her historic inauguration.
“America’s leadership is vital on the issues that matter to us all, from climate change to COVID, and I look forward to working with President Biden.”
Kamala Harris is the first-ever female Vice President of the United States.
