A page is turning in the United States, it is the end of the Donald Trump era, at least for 4 years. Jo Biden became the 46th President of the United States on Wednesday, after a special investiture ceremony, without the general public, but handpicked guests. At the Capitol to do the show, the singers Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez. Kamala Harris was named the first female vice president in the country’s history.
Pauline Schockert, 27, from Rouen, followed the whole ceremony in front of her TV. She has been living in New York for three years where she works as a marketing manager.
A message of peace, of unity
“We have the impression that the war is over, we all regain hope, I am so happy. It’s as if we were blowing, that we were finally landing. Biden’s message was really a message of peace, of unity, he said words like ‘together’, ‘respect’, ‘dignity’, ‘unity’. Especially after what happened on Capitol Hill, it’s like it’s the end of a war and we all stop and he’s there to say ‘stop’. It was a message of hope and peace“.
It felt like a civil war. It’s a relief, because it’s over
Kamala Harris, first female vice-president in the history of the United States, it’s crazy. Coming from diversity, it’s super important after all that has happened
Donald Trump did not attend the inauguration ceremony, but the defeated president promises “I will come back one way or another.”
