Usually, the post-election election stuff, that is between Electoral college voting and counting ceremonies, are pro forma. They have to be done, but they are foregone conclusions with a few tiny hiccups here and there. You have the ceremonial stuff most people find boring, which is covered by CSPAN and no one else, and that's about it. Inaugurations are different in that they are major celebratory events that if one cannot be there in person (lots of fun indeed), one can watch on Television without boredom. Who doesn't love a parade, right? (okay, some don't). But this time is different.
Trump has preemptively declared the election fraudulent in advance and has already filed a bunch of lawsuits. The arcane permutations that go largely unnoticed by all but us political junkies have moved from 99.8% irrelevant to 45% irrelevant. Not only that, but there's also the 20th Amendment, which cuts the transition substantially.
While, yes, it is indeed too early to have the articles 2020-21 Presidential Election Crisis or 2021 Presidential Contingency Election, that doesn't mean interest in the subject doesn't exist NOW and won't increase in the days ahead. That is NOT WP: CRYSTAL! Which brings me to this article:
The 20th Amendment states that there has to be an inauguration on January 20. The events that immediately lead up to the event are relevant to it. A contested electoral count and a contingent election are only two weeks prior to an inauguration that cannot be postponed.
What might happen is notable as hell and people are going to look up about what technically might. So this article, between now and November 4 should be that place where people go to find out. Arglebargle79 ( talk) 13:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
It is not appropriate for editors to insert their own opinions or analyses.. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 20:55, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Is there any reporting yet on the COVID measures/impact of COVID on the inauguration? If not, we should keep an eye out for such reporting. It is quite probable that the inauguration will be scaled-back to adhere to scientists advice regarding crowds and COVID, particularly since Biden's modus operandi would appear to be listening to such advice. SecretName101 ( talk) 09:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
The correct way to refer to Joe Biden is presumptive President-elect Joe Biden.
The title Inauguration of Joe Biden should be changed to the Presumptive Inauguration of Joe Biden. Joe Biden has to be elected by the electoral college and the votes confirmed in a joint session of congress. After the confirmation then and only then can the Inauguration of Joe Biden be the correct title. At this point, it would be just as accurate to create a page the Inauguration of Donald Trump. Tj1of1 ( talk) 03:45, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
This point is correct. Legally and officially, nobody is President-elect until the Electoral College votes (December 14th).
So many people comment on this issue without understanding it in the slightest. Biden is the President-Elect, no matter what in-denial Trump cultists might claim.
Heads up. We've an editor going around changing the fontsize in the infoboxes of these inauguration articles. He's already just done the same thing at articles like 117th United States Congress. I'm aware of WP:SMALLFONT, but this is going too far with it, IMHO. GoodDay ( talk) 18:58, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

When will it be announced who will swear in Harris? 101090ABC ( talk) 14:45, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
As we know, many inaugural events take place in the days before the ceremony takes place. These include protests and marches. How early should we include these? Reports on Social media are saying that the far-right goon squad are bringing weapons and the city is boarding up in anticipation of a huge riot on the sixth. Last month, a protest on grounds agreed to by the National Park Service and the Inaugural Committee turned violent, when the Proud Boys went on a bit of a rampage, resulting in four guys who were attacking an innocent black guy got stabbed by him. I'm not sure whether or not this incident belongs on this page. however...

It might be worth adding the following information to this article:
The clock struck Noon in Washington DC during President Biden's Inauguration speech. This means that the last ever sentence he spoke as President-Elect was as follows:
"This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward."
The first ever sentence he spoke as the actual President was as follows:
"And we must meet this moment as the United States of America." 188.29.99.132 ( talk) 21:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Change it so as to state that Trump was accused of inciting his supporters to storm the capital, as opposed to his attempts to overturn the election inciting the storming of the capital. I make this suggestion as it is still as matter of debate whether he did in fact incite the storming. This article by Al Jezeera explains that https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/11/whether-trump-incited-capitol-riot-is-in-eye-of-the-beholder 2001:569:FA6A:8C00:BCA0:DB67:DA60:ECD5 ( talk) 21:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Trump, who continued to falsely dispute the legitimacy of the election but committed to an "orderly transition" of power exactly two months after losing, said he would not attend the ceremony
In keeping with the
Wikipedia "Neutral Point of View" Policy, how about we remove the word 'falsely' from this sentence.
He disputed the legitimacy of the election, that is undeniable. Having 'falsely' in there just makes the statement more polarizing against those who have other beliefs. 136.207.64.206 ( talk) 15:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
falselyis not important to this sentence or article, and it could be omitted without disrupting the balance of Wikipedia's coverage. In general, flatly describing claims of widespread electoral fraud as
false claimsseems neutral, because these claims have been routinely described by reliable sources as "false" [2] [3] [4] [5], "baseless" [6], and "thoroughly debunked" [7]. RoxySaunders ( talk · contribs) 15:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I propose forking the Celebrating America section out to Celebrating America. Right now this is a well-written overview of the program, but I imagine we could expand with a Reception section, ratings information, etc. Seems like a notable television program which could easily be summarized within this article (and help trim down this one). Anyone care to fork and slap an attribution template at Talk:Celebrating America? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 02:58, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
This section looks absolutely ridiculous at the moment. Names of multiple prime ministers and world leaders together with their countries are all crammed into a sentence or two. I suggest we make it a bulleted list, in order to make it more organized. SkyFlubbler ( talk) 16:55, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
In the "Oaths of office" section, it states that "Harris recited the following: I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. [So help me God.]," while "Biden recited the following, as prescribed by the Constitution: I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. [So help me God.]"
However, this is not a direct "recitation" of what they said, as in actuality, a direct recitation of what Harris said would equate to "I, Kamala Devi Harris, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God," whereas a direct recitation of what Biden said would equate to "I, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."
As such, should the article be reflected to read what they actually said, as opposed to the default (nameless) versions of the oaths which they recited? Brucejoel99 ( talk) 20:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
I have made a minor correction: Both Biden and Harris recited their full names as part of the oath. Should we also include that Justice Sotomayor mispronounced Harris' first name, placing the accent on the second syllable? MisterCSharp ( talk) 15:13, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

However, this is not a direct "recitation" of what they said, as in actuality, a direct recitation of what Harris said would equate to "I, Kamala Devi Harris, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God," whereas a direct recitation of what Biden said would equate to "I, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."
As such, should the article be reflected to read what they actually said, as opposed to the default (nameless) versions of the oaths which they recited? Brucejoel99 ( talk) 20:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
I have made a minor correction: Both Biden and Harris recited their full names as part of the oath. Should we also include that Justice Sotomayor mispronounced Harris' first name, placing the accent on the second syllable? MisterCSharp ( talk) 15:13, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

The word speaker is missing in the Organizers section and under the Join Congressional Committee paragraph. I am not able to edit the page, so someone who can please fix the error. Thanks! PretendZebra75 ( talk) 03:24, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
