Here's What You *Didn't* See on Television During President Biden's Inauguration

 

Finally—after four incredibly long (and at points, painful) years, we can look ahead to a brand new administration taking over the White House and restoring order to American government! A certain orange man has left the building so President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris can officially get to work. But between all the marching, musical performances, and speeches, there's actually a TON of stuff that happened behind the scenes that didn't make it to your television or live stream. Let's dive into it, shall we?

Jen Ellis, the Vermont-based designer of the mittens, said she made Bernie's pair from repurposed wool sweaters and fleece made from plastic bottles. Eco-chic!! (And yes, Jen is taking orders in case you wanna grab a pair for yourself.)
