President Joe Biden has entered the White House as a new resident. He is spending his first night there with First Lady Jill Biden and family members.
First Lady Jill Biden tweeted a video of the White House as a first night resident of the White House on Wednesday night. "Thank you for believing in something bigger than all of us," he said in a statement. Together we will build a beautiful world. "
After being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States yesterday afternoon, Biden spent the day in various formalities. Biden, the wife of three former presidents, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and their family members, went to Arlington National Cemetery. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris paid their respects in addition to receiving a salute from the military while standing at one of the installations for the unity of the United States.
"I want your cooperation," Biden told his administration at the first conference at the White House Oval Office. I will make many mistakes. When I make a mistake, I admit it. I want your help to correct the mistake. '

Biden called on his administration staff to take a virtual oath. "I want honesty and decency from you," he said. We need to remember that people do not work for us. We work for the people. We have a responsibility to the people. "
Joe Biden entered the White House for the first time as president shortly before 4pm local time in Washington DC. Biden and his family were taken in a motorcade to the front of the Treasury Department office building near the White House. Biden walks past Pennsylvania Avenue holding Jill's hand to enter the White House.
Amid tight security, people from afar waved to congratulate the Biden couple. Other members of the family were walking behind Biden and Jill. Biden paused for a moment as he walked. He was seen exchanging greetings for a moment with NBC News reporter Al Rocker. At one point, Biden left in front of NBC News reporter Mike Memley. Mike wants to know, how do you feel? "I feel like I'm entering the house," he replied.
I want honesty and decency from you. We need to remember that people do not work for us. We work for the people. We have a responsibility to the people.
Joe Biden to the staff of his administration
Biden and Jill continue to walk through the north entrance to the White House. The moment they entered the White House was captured on camera. At the time, Biden said, "Unity is his message to the people."
President Biden is expected to enter the White House and receive a message from his predecessor, President Donald Trump. Trump's name has not been formally mentioned since Biden was sworn in on January 20. Just as Trump did not name Biden, so did Biden.
Entering the White House, President Biden said the United States has no time to waste today. He announced to start work from the first day as promised to the people.
Trump's spokesman was quoted by US media as saying that Trump had traditionally written a note for his successor in the drawer of the Oval Office. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. There is a lot of curiosity about what has been written about Biden as president.
Trump has never acknowledged that Biden won the election. Trump called for a change of power on Jan. 20 after a rally on Capitol Hill in which he called on supporters. Earlier, however, there were doubts about whether Trump would leave the White House peacefully.
Biden said the president had written a generous letter. He told reporters that he could not reveal the contents of the letter before speaking privately and with Trump. He assured the reporters that the letter was generous.

Biden told reporters he would quickly sign several executive orders. In front of the camera, he issued an executive order making it mandatory for people to wear masks in all federal installations. More than four million people have died in the United States in the last 10 months. In this situation, the Americans are in an extreme health crisis. In such a difficult reality, Joe Biden has been sworn in as President.
On his first working day, Biden signed 18 executive orders. Biden has called on Congress to reform the crumbling immigration system in the United States. A separate executive order lifts the ban on people entering the United States from Muslim-majority countries. Shortly after Trump came to power, Muslim-majority countries banned him from entering the United States.
Biden has previously said that his first priority will be to save the country from the Corona epidemic.
The international community has also signed a directive to rejoin the historic Paris Agreement.
