The presidency of Joe Biden will officially begin when Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20, 2021.[1][2] When he assumes office as the 46th president, Kamala Harris will concurrently assume office as the 49th vice president.[3][4]
Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election is slated to be formalized by the Electoral College on December 14, 2020, and certified by a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.
2020 presidential election
Biden announced that he would run for president in April 2019, via a video and following two unsuccessful presidential campaigns in 1988 and 2008.[5]
On November 7, four days after Election Day, Biden was projected to have defeated the incumbent president Donald Trump, becoming president-elect of the United States.[6] Shortly afterwards, the Trump campaign launched several lawsuits against the results in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michigan, raising unsubstantiated and disproven claims of voter fraud.[7][8]
Transition period and inauguration
Two days after becoming the projected winner, Biden announced the formation of a task force, co-chaired by former surgeon general Vivek Murthy, former FDA commissioner David A. Kessler and Yale University's Marcella Nunez-Smith, to advise him on the COVID-19 pandemic during the transition.[9]
On November 11, 2020, Biden chose Ron Klain (who was Biden's chief of staff during his vice-presidency) to be his White House chief of staff.[10]
On November 17, 2020, Biden announced that he had selected Mike Donilon as senior advisor and Steve Riccheti as counselor.[11] Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, who had served as campaign manager for Biden's successful presidential campaign, was named as deputy chief of staff.[12]
President-elect Biden planned to announce his first nominees to the Cabinet before Thanksgiving 2020.[13] On November 22, 2020, several news outlets reported that Biden had selected Antony Blinken to be Secretary of State, Linda Thomas-Greenfield as ambassador to the United Nations, and Jake Sullivan as national security advisor.[14][15]
On November 23, 2020, Biden picked John Kerry to be his climate advisor,[16] Alejandro Mayorkas to be Secretary of Homeland Security and Avril Haines as Director of National Intelligence.[17]
