As Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States alongside Vice President Kamala Harris Wednesday, many Americans breathed a sigh of relief following the violent events of Jan. 6, in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempted insurrection. Others embraced the historic day with humor, turning their heads particularly when Biden was sworn in as his full name — Joe Robinette Biden.

Following his inauguration, Biden addressed the nation, saying, "This is America's day. This is democracy's day. Today we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate but a cause. The cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people, has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded."
