UNASSUMING JILL

THE SWEARING-IN of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States by Chief Justice John Roberts brings the curtains down on Donald Trump’s tainted legacy, made bitter by the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. We expect Mr Biden, the oldest president in US history, to undo many of Mr Trump’s policies. Significantly, Mr Biden pledged to repair America’s global alliances and end ban on arrivals from certain Muslim countries. Will he make America great again? At his side is not only his illustrious vice-president, Kamala Harris, but his trusted All American wife, Jill, who, unambitious but progressive as she is, will function as his anchor. N.J.
