Joe Biden's team also includes 20 people of Indian origin -- the largest-ever number of Indians origin people in any US President's team.
In less than 24 hours from now, 78-year-old Joe Biden will assume office as America's 46th President and Kamala Harris will take oath as the first woman Vice President. Though the event will be much different from that of past years due to coronavirus pandemic, one thing will be the same - the date. January 20 has been the date of the swearing-in since 1937, when Franklin D Roosevelt took oath of office for his second term.
