Today, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be inaugurated as the new President and Vice President of the United States of America. Every 4 years, January 20th marks Inauguration Day, and this year will be a particularly historic event! Kamala Harris will be the first female ever to hold the title of Vice President, and she is also the first African and Indian American in the position. Not only that but Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug, will be the first Second Gentleman, also the first Jewish Spouse of the Vice President. Jill Biden, the new Second Lady will also be the first to hold a job outside of the White House! Wow! We hope that no matter what your personal, political, beliefs are, you can find the historic significance of this groundbreaking day and do some fun learning to celebrate!
