Photos: Who attended Biden’s inauguration

Members of Congress, former presidents, and other familiar faces attended the inauguration Wednesday of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The proceedings were toned down significantly amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with the number of guests reduced and the usual crowds on the National Mall absent, though dozens of prominent current and former officials took to the Capitol to witness the beginning of Biden’s presidency.

Here are some photos of people who attended.
