These reactions to the Inauguration will make any mom’s eyes fill with tears

The most honest reactions, from kids and parents across the country.

On Wednesday, January 20, 2021, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took their oaths of office and were sworn in as President and Vice President of the United States. The entire day was filled with celebration, but it was also a time for reflection and hope for the future.
