Yahoo Lifestyle Here’s What You *Didn’t* See on Television During President Biden’s Inauguration
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were officially sworn into office during today’s inauguration.
During the event, there were a bunch of behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the cut on TV and livestreams.
Finally—after four incredibly long (and at points, painful) years, we can look ahead to a brand-new administration taking over the White House and restoring order to American government! A certain orange man has left the building so President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris can officially get to work. But between all the marching, musical performances, and speeches, there’s actually a TON of stuff that happened behind the scenes that didn’t make it to your television or livestream. Let’s dive into it, shall we?

Jen Ellis, the Vermont-based designer of the mittens, said she made Bernie’s pair from repurposed wool sweaters and fleece made from plastic bottles. Eco-chic!! (And yes, Jen is taking orders, in case you wanna grab a pair for yourself.)

People lowkey thought Prince William and Kate Middleton scored an invite to the inauguration.

Capitol police officer Eugene Goodman escorted Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
As a reminder, Eugene Goodman is the Capitol officer who did his duty by holding off rioters during the pro-Trump insurrection of the U.S. Capitol building two weeks ago.
