On January 20, #KamalaHarris became the first ever female vice president of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸

What does her arrival in the White House mean for gender equality in #US politics? And will a female president be next?
President #JoeBiden has signed a raft of new executive orders to curb the #Covid19 #pandemic 🇺🇸🦠

As @WassimCornet reports, travellers to the #US will be required to quarantine on arrival while #masks will be mandated on many domestic trains, planes and buses ⤵️
@WassimCornet 🇺🇸 The measures are part of #Biden's national strategy that is outlined in a 200-page document that foresees scaling up #vaccinations, testing, returning students to school and rebuilding trust with the public among other goals 💉😷

Vice-president under Barack #Obama and a senator for 36 years, #JoeBiden is a political figure familiar to most Americans🇺🇸

To many, he lacks the aura of the last Democratic president, but after a period of turmoil in US politics, is he the steady pair of hands the nation needs?
#US 🇺🇸 President Joe #Biden moved swiftly to dismantle Donald #Trump’s legacy on his first day in office.

The president signed a series of executive actions to reverse course on immigration, climate change, racial equity and handling of the pandemic ✍️

@WassimCornet reports ⤵️
@WassimCornet 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, Donald #Trump has a long way to go to rebuild an image left in tatters by his presidency, particularly the final months.

France 24's @ketgorjestani said that the Republican left the White House "with the lowest rating of his presidency" ⤵️

#Inauguration Day for #JoeBiden will look unlike anything the nation has seen before as the scars of #Covid19 and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the #US 🇺🇸 #Capitol turn the West Front into a virtual ghost town compared to years past.
