Biden Arrival In Washington Framed By Division And Heavy Security

Cleaning crews descended on the White House to prepare for the Biden administration to take over. Supporters of President Donald Trump were lined up outside Joint Base Andrews ahead of a send-off rally.

President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in Wednesday.

Cleaning Crews Scrub White House Ahead of Biden Takeover

Cleaners were at work in the White House just hours before the Trump family moves out and the Bidens move in.

The new administration takes over amid the raging coronavirus pandemic and plans to institute tight measures in an effort to stem the spread.

The White House has famously tight work spaces, and the new administration had vowed to disinfect them after several outbreaks among Trump’s staff. White House cleaning crews are scrubbing offices, including the press secretary’s office to prep for the arrival of Jen Psaki.

Trump was seemingly up early on inauguration day, with the lights ablaze in the residence at 5:30 a.m. The Oval Office was quiet, however. -- Jennifer Jacobs

Trump Supporters Gather for Final Send-Off (7:14 a.m.)

Die-hard Trump backers lined up in the predawn hours outside Joint Base Andrews ahead of Trump’s final rally.

Trump is skipping Biden’s inauguration and its corresponding traditions, instead flying to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Before his last flight on Air Force One, he will address gathered supporters shortly after leaving the White House around 8 a.m. New York time.

A small stage has been built beside the plane, backed by a row of American flags, much like at a political rally.

Traditionally, outgoing presidents stand beside their successors during the swearing-in and welcome their families into the White House on inauguration day. After weeks of refusing to acknowledge his defeat, Trump has declined to participate in any of those symbols of a peaceful transfer of power. -- Jordan Fabian
