A complete comparison between the 2009 Obama inauguration and Biden's inauguration 2021


At a time when the White House is preparing to receive its new visitor, the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden has a special flavor, not because it came after a stalled process of transferring power in the United States that included his rival Donald Trump's rejection of the election results, and his supporters' storming of Congress headquarters at the time of the approval of the elections, Another precedent set by this inauguration is Trump's refusal to attend the inauguration ceremony, which is one of the traditions of American politics in the presence of the former president at the inauguration of the new president, so that Trump would be the first president to refuse to attend the inauguration of his successor in 150 years.


But the other precedent is that this inauguration comes at a time in the United States undergoing emergency circumstances represented in the spread of the Corona virus, which prompted the authorities to hold the inauguration ceremony without the presence of the masses, and the masses are replaced by US flags.


And the monitoring of the last three inauguration ceremonies shows a continuous decline in the number of attendees.


The audience is one of the most prominent features of the inauguration ceremony, which demonstrates the popularity of the new president, and delivers a speech in front of them to inaugurate a new era.


During the inauguration of former President Barack Obama in 2009, 1.8 million people attended the ceremony.


More attendance figures for President Donald Trump's inauguration, but photos of this year's event suggest it may have had a lower attendance than Barack Obama in 2009.


Obama's inauguration came to a popular welcome as he was the first African American president, and when his term was renewed, nearly a million people attended in 2013.


On the other hand, Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony in 2017 was less hospitable, due to his hostile statements, and it is estimated that between 700,000 and 900,000 Americans will attend the Trump inauguration ceremony.


In the following pictures, the clear difference between the two inaugurations between the 2009 Obama inauguration and the 2017 inauguration of Trump.


While the inauguration of Joe Biden is devoid of popular presence, the human element in the inauguration is limited to the country's officials, Vice President Mike Pence, and orchestras.


The masses are replaced by an intense security presence in Washington, DC, where nearly 25,000 National Guard soldiers are deployed in anticipation of any acts of sabotage, as happened on January 6 with the storming of Congress, and the attendees will be satisfied with placing the flags of the United States of America as a compensation for the popular presence, as the number of flags is estimated at 200 thousand science.
