Today marks U.S. President Joe Biden’s last day at the White House, four years after he defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 election and took office.
Mr. Biden is scheduled to hold his daily press conference in the morning. This is a private, regular event that receives updates from the U.S. intelligence community.
He will then greet Donald Trump and Melania Trump and host a tea and coffee reception in the White House’s Blue Room. The event will be closed to the press.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden will then depart together to the U.S. Capitol, where Mr. Biden will attend the swearing-in ceremony. Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff, as well as JD and Usha Vance, will also be in attendance.
He will officially cease to be president around noon.
Biden is expected to leave Washington, D.C., shortly afterward to deliver final remarks at a farewell event for employees at Joint Base Andrews, the military base where the president travels.
It will then fly to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California before heading to Santa Ynez, a small community in Santa Barbara County.
Biden, 82, has been silent on specific plans for the end of his presidential term, but has repeatedly said he is “not going anywhere.”
