The Presidential Inaugural Committee for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris released a playlist full of tunes to help celebrate Inauguration Day on Wednesday.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee’s CEO, Tony Allen said in a statement that music has been “a consistent vehicle that has kept us connected” through a challenging year.”These songs and artists reflect the relentless spirit and rich diversity of America. They are the score to a new chapter and will help bring people together as the Biden-Harris Administration begins its important work to unite our country,”
Meanwhile yesterday afternoon a grim milestone was passed as the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University Hospital showed about 401,128 people have now passed away due to the covid 19 virus in the US more than 24m cases – both numbers being by far the highest in the world.
Joe Biden memorialized the more than 400,000 Americans who have died from Covid-19 during a vigil in Washington DC late Tuesday afternoon, as many Americans took to social media in collective mourning.
On this #Inauguration2021 Eve, we remember the 400,000+ lives lost to the #COVID19 pandemic in the United States. And continue the important work of conducting #CovidVaccine trials to help end it! #COVIDMemorial #COVIDMemorialDay @JohnsHopkinsIH @JohnsHopkinsSPH pic.twitter.com/gFc1jpqXet
