Between protections put into place due to the the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, and security measures taken following the insurrection at the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob earlier this month, Joe Biden's inauguration is going to look a significantly different from those in years past. But it will be an inauguration, and a transition of power none-the-less.
