Joe Biden concluded his more than 50-year political career on Monday, vowing to continue the fight as he bid farewell to the presidency and headed to California to relax with his family. This came after watching his successor, Republican President Donald Trump, promise to reverse the policies of the previous administration.
Prior to the transfer of power, Biden extended courtesies to Trump, welcoming him and his wife, Melania, to the White House for a traditional meet-and-greet. The two then traveled together to the Capitol, where Trump was sworn in as the 47th president, while Biden sat stoically in the front row during Trump's address.
