Biden Inauguration Will Have Virtual Nationwide Parade

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration will include a
   "virtual parade across America" consistent with crowd limits during the
   coronavirus era, organizers announced Sunday.

   Following the swearing-in ceremony on Inauguration Day,January20,on the
   west front of the U.S. Capitol, Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, will
   join Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff,in
   participating in a socially distanced Pass in Review on the Capitol's
   opposite front side. Those are military traditions where Biden will
   review the readiness of military troops.

   Biden will also receive a traditional presidential escort with
   representatives from every branch of the military from 15th Street in
   Washington to the White House. That, the Presidential Inaugural
   Committee says, will be socially distanced too, while "providing the
   American people and world with historic images of thepresident-elect
   proceeding to the White House without attracting large crowds."
