While President Trump opted for a lights camera action approach - sharing a clip of himself shaking hands with important American public figures, jeering crowds and spending time with family - Biden headed down a more simple road, only sharing a picture of himself and Obama with a humble caption that read:

"12 years ago, I was given the honor to serve you as Vice President alongside President @BarackObama.We accomplished so much, but I'm not done yet. Today, I'm asking you to put your faith in me once again — I won't let you down."

In other US Presidential election news, Briefly.co.za reports, in anticipation of a protest that might ensue after the outcome of the coming United States (US) elections, the government of the nation is expected to build a massive fence around the White House.

The same fence erected during heated protests earlier in 2020, will surround the entire park including the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the Treasury Building, Ellipse and Lafayette Square.

According to a source who spoke with CNN, the structure will cover from the 15th Street to Constitution Avenue as well as the 17th Street. Moreover, the barricade will then run up to H Street and across by Lafayette, and then get back to the 15th Street. In the opinion of some political observers in the US, this is one of the biggest instances of a government preparing for a possible social upheaval.
