President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, along with members of their family and security officials, left the presidential motorcade to walk along Washington, D.C.'s 15th Street -- what would have normally been the inaugural parade route -- and then to the White House.

The 46th president’s inauguration comes amid a global pandemic that has modified inauguration traditions, and in the aftermath of an attack on the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump extremists.
