Madam Vice President had just three business-like words for her new role.

First Lady Jill Biden and the first ever `Second Gentleman’ Douglas Emhoff were as correct and loving as always.

Former president Barak Obama thinks the time has come for Biden to step into his shoes…

Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate, congratulated Biden and Harris, but singled out the latter—she even had a surprise encounter with a member of the Harris family.

US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar seems at a loss for words but then found, what she thought, summed it up. Have a look.

House Representative and Twitter star Alexandria Occasio Cortez or AOC as she is commonly known, wasn’t going to let Biden-Harris rest on their laurels, oh no, she wanted action.

Back home in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was one of the first to tweet his greetings.

Congressmen P Chidambaram and Sanjay Jha couldn’t resist a political jibe or two as they drew lessons from the election of Harris and Biden’s speech.
