JUST IN: @garthbrooks now also set to perform at the @BidenInaugural.
“You must rise above red and blue, you must rise above black and white,” @garthbrooks says in response to a q about what he’d tell fans about his participation in the #BidenHarrisInauguration.
@garthbrooks "My job is to get there, get there in time... be ready to serve," @garthbrooks says about his participation in the #BidenHarrisInauguration
@garthbrooks "It's going to rank really high on the butterfly list, just as it did with the 2008 inauguration," @garthbrooks says when asked by a reporter about potential nerves on Wednesday.
@garthbrooks "I've payed for every president since Carter, with the exception of Ronald Reagan," @garthbrooks, providing some #context on his participation in the #BidenHarrisInauguration
@garthbrooks Brooks adds that "no matter who the president is," he's willing and honored to perform at a presidential inauguration.
@garthbrooks We should point out: The #BidenHarrisInauguration now set to include performances by @ladygaga, @jlo and @garthbrooks.
@garthbrooks @ladygaga @JLo Asked what he made of the assault on the Capitol, @garthbrooks says it was "disturbing, it was sad."

"It felt like some other country but it was here. But now we deal with it, take responsibility, we claim it and we do our best to make sure that never happens again."

As the Biden presidency begins and he’s moved to Washington, I want to say a word about his hometown, Wilmington. More than a word, actually, a thread...
Once mostly that quick train stop on our way north or south for many in the press corps on the infamous Acela corridor, Wilmington became a new home base for many over the past 10 months. And it’s a very friendly town...
The pride and appreciation for Biden and his family is legit. Introduce yourself to a local at a restaurant or store and they’re universally pleased to have you visit.

NEW @CBSNewsPoll: Americans today say the biggest threat comes from inside the country, from “other people in America, and domestic enemies.” Image
Americans are bracing for more political violence, not just in the next week at the inaugural (which most think is likely) but also over the coming years. Image
Just 6% of Americans describe democracy and rule of law in the U.S. as “very secure” and just 29% think it’s at least somewhat secure at all. The rest see it threatened. Image

Q: Should President Trump remain in office?

BIDEN: "The idea that I shouldn't be out of office yesterday isn't the issue. The question is, what happens with 14 days left to go, or 13 days left to go?" (It's actually 12.)
Biden notes that President Trump says he won't show up for his inauguration: "One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on. It's a good thing him no showing up."
Why is it okay with Trump not showing up for the inauguration? Biden says: "Because... he's exceeded even my own worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country. ... Not worthy to hold the office."
