President Biden calls for an end to 'uncivil war' in inaugural address
White House correspondent Peter Doocy reports on the President Joe Biden's speech and agenda on day one of the new administration.
President Biden unveiled a list of officials on Wednesday who will serve as the interim heads of government agencies in the early days of his administration.
The officials will run their respective agencies until Biden’s slate of nominees can be vetted and approved in the Senate. Some officials, such as Retired Gen. Lloyd Austin, Biden’s choice to serve as secretary of defense, have already appeared before the Senate, while others are slated to do so in the coming days.
Biden had little choice but to name interim agency leaders due to delays in the confirmation process during a transition process marked by chilly relations with the Trump administration. The president will begin his term without a permanent national security team in place.
