US Inauguration Day 2021 Livestream: A Low-Key Affair 

The event, as usual, will continue to draw worldwide attention but the inauguration ceremony will be a bit different this time. The inauguration will take place amid extraordinary levels of security concerns raised after the attack on the US Capitol building on January 6 by the protestors batting for outgoing President Donald Trump.

Around 25,000 National Guard troops will be coming to Washington for the event, as per US defence officials. The National Guards at the swearing-in ceremony are at least two and a half times the number for previous inaugurals.

President Trump will be the first incumbent president since Andrew Johnson to not attend his successor’s inauguration. Alleging fraud in the counting of votes during the 2020 US presidential elections, President Trump refused to concede power.

The usual celebrations have this time been dialled down courtesy the novel coronavirus pandemic.
