Biden’s inaugural address hit most of the right notes, even if it wasn’t especially memorable. But there was a moment that showed what he and
Biden redecorates Oval Office by removing military flags
President Biden decided to do some redecorating. “Gone are the flags of the branches of the military that Trump displayed behind the Resolute Desk. Biden has installed an American flag and another with a presidential seal,” the Washington Post reported. Here’s what the place looks like, and what’s in it.
