Today marks US President Joe Biden’s last day at the White House, four years to the day since he took office after unseating Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
In the morning, Biden is scheduled to receive his daily briefing – a regular event that happens behind closed doors in which he receives the latest from the US intelligence community.
After that, he’ll greet Donald and Melania Trump and host them for a tea and coffee reception in the Blue Room of the White House. The event will be closed to press.
Later on, the Trumps and Bidens will depart – together – to the US Capitol, where Biden will attend the swearing-in ceremony. Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, as well as JD and Usha Vance, will also be there.
-He will, officially, no longer be president at around noon.
Biden will leave Washington DC shortly thereafter, giving final remarks at a farewell event for staff members at Joint Base Andrews, the military base from where the president travels.
He will then fly to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and then head to Santa Ynez, a small community in Santa Barbara County.
Biden, 82, has been quiet about any specific plans he has after his presidency ends – but has said repeatedly that he is not “going anywhere”.
