Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner issued the following statement regarding the inauguration of President Joseph R. Biden:

'With today's inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris, our nation took another step towards healing while honoring the democratic processes that Americans hold dear. I have faith that in the near future, we can work across our differences to build an inclusive economy, create high-quality jobs and fully recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
