The inauguration of @JoeBiden featured a slew of high-profile performers, but for many it was @AmandascGorman, the youngest inaugural poet in US history, who truly wowed the crowd with this reading of her poem, The Hill We Climb.
Gorman, who was named the first-ever national youth poet laureate in 2017, gave a powerful, five-minute performance after Biden was sworn in. She recited a poem she had written, in part, on the day of the US Capitol riots on 6 January.
It was a tour-de-force from Gorman as she called for Americans to “leave behind a country better than the one we were left”.
“We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,” Gorman read. “Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. And this effort very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated.”
The performance won instant plaudits, including from @MichelleObama, @Oprah Winfrey, @AyannaPressley, Martin Luther King Jr's daughter @berniceaking, and @StaceyAbrams, the former Democratic candidate for Georgia governor who has been credited with boosting voter turnout in the state, leading to a rare Democratic win.
“Amanda Gorman’s message serves as an inspiration to us all,” Abrams tweeted.

#亞歷桑納翻轉_麥坎的復仇!
民主黨上次贏得亞歷桑納州的選票,是1996年(柯林頓)。時隔24年,拜登這次能夠獲勝,恐怕是因為已故參議員麥坎家庭的鼎力相助。
川普對於這位曾經淪為越戰戰俘的共和黨參議員一直沒有好話,甚至曾經批評他,不夠資格當越戰英雄。2018年,麥坎因為腦癌過世,川普也不出席喪禮。
好死不死,亞利桑那州是麥坎家族的故鄉。這次,一向支持共和黨的亞歷桑納就用選票,來還麥坎一個公道。
善有善報,惡有惡報;不是不報,時候未到。

Biden is the first Democrat to capture the Grand Canyon State since former President Clinton in 1996. President Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the state by roughly 4 points four years ago.
Trump long had a contentious relationship with McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee and longtime senator who died in 2018 of brain cancer.
During his presidential campaign in 2015, Trump sparked backlash for saying that the former prisoner of war in Vietnam was not a hero because the president preferred those who weren't "captured." Trump also lambasted McCain for voting against a scaled-down GOP bill to repeal ObamaCare in 2017.
Biden was aided in his 2020 bid by the support of the McCain family, including his widow, Cindy McCain, and his daughter, "The View" co-host Meghan McCain.
Cindy McCain endorsed Biden in September, calling him a "good and honest man." She later joined the advisory board for his presidential transition team.
