Joe and Jill Biden say goodbye to supporters and staff at an address at Joint Base Andrews

Trump’s return to office caps a political comeback unprecedented in American history — getting voted out of office in a dark time in U.S. history that included a riot at the Capitol as Congress met to certify Biden’s win. He cruised through the Republican primary and into a popular vote win despite multiple criminal cases against him and two attempts on his life.

“Just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then and believed even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again," Trump said.

Even Democratic governors and members of Congress have changed their attitudes toward Trump, with many preaching of finding ways to work with the incoming administration instead of mounting a fierce resistance.

Inauguration Day was filled with a return to traditional norms surrounding the peaceful transfer of power, with the outgoing president welcoming the incoming president to the White House and attending the swearing-in ceremony. The senators that led the event’s planning for the last four years made speeches prior to Trump being sworn into office alluding to the lasting power of America’s democracy.

“Our great American experiment, grounded in the rule of law, has endured. So as we inaugurate a new president and vice president, let us remember that the power of those in this room comes from the people,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in a speech.
