Where should President Biden's Inauguration ceremony be held?

It's horrifically sad and maddening that a normal Inauguration cannot occur (both due to Covid and the rampaging MAGAt hordes)

Ditto. Just ensure the security is great just as when Obama was sworn in for both his terms. onetexan Jan 2021 #19

Yes, where it has ALWAYS been. We can/will protect it. To not do so, further emboldens terrorists. hlthe2b Jan 2021 #9

Strange that the Capitol where it traditionally has been held is not included as an option? hlthe2b Jan 2021 #11

We'll have to spend months cleaning up and securing the White House; Biden will have to operate from a temporary location.

Let the losers know they lost. And if any nutbags show up - let them suffer immediate consequences.

Moving it to another location besides the Capitol reinforces the thugs' idea that they have somehow "won".
