Biden will appeal for unity as US braces for violence by Trump supporters
Source: The Guardian
Joe Biden will deliver a message of national unity when he assumes the presidency on Wednesday, seeking to begin healing a country fractured by the acrimony of Donald Trumps administration and ongoing threats of violence by his supporters.
The preview of the theme of Bidens inauguration address came as cities across the US braced for violent protests and Washington DC resembled a fortress with up to 25,000 national guard troops deployed.
Its a message of moving this country forward, its a message of unity, its a message of getting things done, Ron Klain, the incoming White House chief of staff, told CNNs State of the Union.
Theres no question weve seen the most divisive four years in over a century from President Trump, its one reason Joe Biden ran, to restore the soul of America. The events of the past few weeks have proven out just how damaged the soul of America has been, and how important it is to restore it. That work starts on Wednesday.

Instead of just half the country, ALL of it will be enraged.
