Bernie Sanders, a one-time competitor of US President Joe Biden has become a “meme-able politician” after an image from the inauguration ceremony went viral. While this year’s ceremony was both historic and scaled-down at the same time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanders was spotted sitting far away from everyone else. The Vermont senator Bernie Sanders arrived at Biden and first woman vice president Kamala Harris’ oath-taking ceremony, in a practical warm coat and delightful mittens. This soon invited a host of hilarious reactions online. Here are some of them:

'Democracy Has Prevailed': Biden Calls For Unity
Meanwhile, the 46th US President Joe Biden in his inaugural address called for unity and announced January 20 as “America’s Day”. In the first speech, officially as the president, Biden said that the Inauguration Day was a celebration of democracy and that the "the will of the people has been heard." He noted the challenges ahead of his administration and even thanked his predecessors of both parties.
He said, “Today we celebrate the triumph, not of a candidate, but of a cause — the cause of democracy. The will of the people has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded. We've learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed."
