WASHINGTON, DC: Democrat Joe Biden was on Wednesday (Jan 20) sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

Biden, 78, was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts shortly before noon (1am Thursday, Singapore time) outside the Capitol, which was targeted in a deadly assault by pro-Trump protesters exactly two weeks ago.
