WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the below statement regarding the Inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Senator Capito attended today’s swearing-in on the west front of the United States Capitol.

“Today, I congratulate President Biden and Vice President Harris on their Inauguration. As we have since 2000, Charlie and I had the opportunity to witness this transfer of power. I stand ready to work with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their administration to improve the lives of West Virginians. Our country faces many challenges ahead and we cannot let the issues that have divided us keep us from making progress.
