[cheers and applause] a couple january from now in a slightly different role. and i suspect there's one person in particular in this room who about all may have something to do with that so we'd like to welcome vice president biden as well this evening. [cheers and applause] >> now, one of the most notable things about dr. biden's tenure as second lady was that she fulfilled the many often hidden responsibilities but sears responsibilities as the spouse of the vice president while maintaining her professional career as a professor at northern virginia community college.

invited by first lady jill biden to read a poem that gorman wrote for this day. she calls it, "the hill we climb." >> we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished. we, the successors of a country and a time, where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one. >> the young poet saying she stayed up all night writing the poem, after watching the attack on the capitol. >> we've seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it, would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. and this effort very nearly succeeded. but while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated. >> gorman is the first national youth poet laureate. and today, she called for unity, too. >> we will rebuild, reconcile and recover and every known nook of our nation, every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful. when the day comes, we step out of the shade of

host: do we know when joe biden and jill biden will arrive in washington for the inauguration? guest: they are expected to arrive shortly before inauguration. they are likely to stay overnight at blair house before the january 20 inauguration. they could be there as early as monday or tuesday and really go through the normal process. any president about to be sworn in -- now this will be a very different inauguration with covid-19, with the security crisis, with 25,000 strips on troops on the street -- but despite that they are likely to prepare for taking office like any other president prepare before them. they are likely to go through the motions to try and restore some sense of normalcy and go through the traditions that have long governed this process, including staying at blair house, traveling together to the capitol, being sworn in on the grounds. that is something they wanted to do. we are expecting those traditions to be upheld. the traditions not upheld are they not expected to meet with president trump, not expected to meet with the first lady, not expected to be th

he's in new castle, delaware, with jill biden as well. we heard a short time ago very emotional remarks from president-elect biden as he starts to head to washington. >> incredibly emotional. and i think it's something that speaks to the moment that he's in historically and also the personal loss that he's suffered somewhat recently in not having his son with him, which is certainly a loss. you talk to anyone who is reporting on him, anyone who knows him, and they will tell you what a huge void that is for him to not have his son beau biden by his side. but it's also coming at this time in an extraordinary time, anderson, where we see people, joe biden and jill biden wearing masks, and we're crossing this threshold of 400,000 americans dead. and that's according to the official numbers. this is a country in pain. this is a country that is divided and that is the weight of what he's heading into in his presidency, anderson. >> it's also a time of transition for the last four years where the name of the current president has been spoken in

the republicans have this incredibly negative view of jill biden, 8-59. she's not been an overly political spouse. you go back, here is what melania trump's numbers were among democrats, they weren't that high, 9/44. here is michelle obama among republicans, a little less sort of vitriol, 19-33. and then look at this from laura bush. it was 17-17 among democrats. we just thought that that might better explain polarization. if you hate the first lady, you've got a negative view, then you really are sort of blinded with partisanship. >> no question this country is very divided by party. chuck, let's take a step back here. she was the most popular person on the poll. the only institution that was more popular than jill biden was the supreme court. she was more popular than trump, more pom lar than pence. even more popular than her husband. let's get perspective here. there's about 30% of the country -- 30% to 35% that's totally trump, but the majority of america has rejected trump especially in light of what he incited in our nation's capitol. i think we're

president biden and first lady dr jill biden began day two in the white house with a virtual prayer service. the new president is moving full steam ahead, putting his mark on america while reversing a number of his predecessor's policies. and he says one of his biggest priorities is putting an end to the coronavirus pandemic now requiring masks on federal property. he's set a very ambitious goal, which you touched on which is 100 million shots in the arms of americans in the 1st 100 days, and there are some very clear. steps that he's outlined to do exactly that. meanwhile the senate moves forward today with their job confirming president biden's cabinet members. hearing from transportation secretary nominee pete buttigieg judge. i believe good transportation policy can play no lesser role. then making possible the american dream. many world leaders have congratulated president biden on social media, but his first foreign phone call will be with canadian prime minister justin trudeau on friday in washington. lauren blanchard, ktvu fox two news. and president biden is reportedly planning to

or jill biden at the white house as a president might normally do. there is also a long-held tradition of sharing sometimes a quite uncomfortable and unpleasant limousine ride, the incoming and outgoing president to the capitol. donald trump isn't there to do it, but it's notable that mike pence is not going to do that either. and that's by choice. i was told by a white house official that he respects the president, he respects the office of the presidency, and he is still the vice president so he will take his own motorcade there. >> i got to say, when i was thinking about this day before donald trump lost this election, i was wondering would he ever sit in that limo ride with joe biden and make that trip from capitol hill or from the white house to capitol hill. and the answer is no. ashley parker, thank you very much. anna palmer, thank you as well. mike memoli. we just heard from both senate leaders chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell about the priorities of the next congress including some subtle signals from mcconnell about impeachment which we w

what do you expect from jill biden? do you believe that she is going to be more public and perhaps more active than her predecessors? i do. and in fact, she was a very active second lady. she started a military families initiative with michelle obama called joining forces that. she's also indicate she will continue to work on. but the education message is loud and clear. and she did that on the very first full working day in office, and what my research shows. in addition to the fact that in general first ladies, they're some of the best. policy advocates through their own projects that the white house could possibly ask for if the first lady has expertise in an issue area like jill biden does. there's a presidential agenda item attached to it, which there is in this case, getting kids back to school. that's one of the most effective ways you can push forward the president's agenda while putting a softer face on it, if you will, a more interesting face and an expert in dr biden, yeah, and you mentioned that education ob

the only institution that was more popular than jill biden was the supreme court. she was more popular than trump, more popular than pence, even more popular than her husband. so, let's get perspective here. there's about 30% of the country that is totally -- 30% to 35% that's totally trump. but the majority of america has rejected trump, especially in light of what he incited in our nation's capital. i think we're headed for good places because your polling, talking about republicans and democrats, all those independents in the middle are skewing away from trump's republican party. >> you know, it's interesting, rich, i think in some way, claire, when she's speaking for the democrats, they have it a little bit easier. they could ignore this 30% while they govern for a while. it's going to be hard to fully ignore them, but they can sort of work around them. the republican party can't, because that 30% translates into about 70% of the party. what does a mitch mcconnell do with those folks? >> well, it's tricky. donald trump is going to be the biggest figure in the p

jill biden with michelle obama. i asked jarrett what's ahead for the biden/harris administration. >> no two days are alike. no two hours are alike. we used to say for several months we were drinking out of a fire hose, and i'm not sure that ever stopped until the day i walked out. >> reporter: yeah, i hear you. so many eyes will be looking at kamala harris as the first woman, as the first woman of color. and that vice presidential role is so dependent on that relationship with the president. what do you see as what their role will be as a team and what her role should be carrying so much weight on her shoulders? >> her career has been made up of breaking through glass ceilings, being the first -- the first but ensuring she wasn't the only or the last. and so i think she's comfortable with the expectations that are on her shoulder. i think the fact joe biden has served as vice president gives him a key for the appreciation of the role a vice president can play and they've had conversations about that. he has said pub
