The presidency of Joe Biden began at noon EST (17:00 UTC) on January 20, 2021, when he was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States.
Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election was made legal by the Electoral College on December 14, 2020. During the certification of the Electoral College vote by a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, a group of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol building, delaying the final certification until 3:44 a.m. on January 7.
