After taking the oath of office, Biden will conduct a traditional review of military troops meant to highlight the peaceful transfer of power, the Presidential Inaugural Committee said in a statement. The committee also said Biden would receive an official escort, with representatives from every branch of the military, for one city block before arriving at the White House. The statement left many details unclear, including the nature of the rest of Biden’s trip of about 1.5 miles to the White House from the Capitol. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, the inaugural committee this year has urged Americans not to travel to Washington for the event. It remains unclear whether Trump plans to attend Biden’s inauguration, much less participate in the traditional welcoming of the incoming president to the White House before a joint limousine ride to the Capitol for the ceremony.
