The 46th US President Joe Biden sent his first tweet after taking oath on January 20 and noted that 'there's no time to waste'. He not only informed that he will be heading to the Oval Office on Wednesday but also said that he will deliver 'bold' actions for instant relief for Americans. 

Earlier,  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."

I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here today. I thank them from the bottom of my heart... And I know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength, the strength of our nation, as does President Carter, who I spoke with last night, who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime in service," Biden added.
