Here are a few ways you can watch the Biden/Harris inauguration ceremony

Tomorrow, millions of Americans will tune in to watch President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris be inaugurated in Washington, D.C.

The ceremony will begin at 12 p.m. ET on Jan. 20. Aside from some guests, the inauguration will have no spectators this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will also be under heavy guard as a result of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Major networks such as CBS, NBC, Fox, ABC and CNN will be airing the historic event. For those who don’t have cable, the event will be live-streamed for free on YouTube and bideninaugural.org.
