I Wondered On January 6Th If Biden Would Ever Be Inaugurated

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klein admitted there were moments Jan. 6 when he wondered if Joe Biden would ever become president as a mob stormed the Capitol. “There were moments on January 6 where I really wondered if the electoral votes would ever be counted and if Joe Biden would ever be sworn in as president,” Klein told Politico’s Ryan Lisa in an interview published Friday. “So to be here at 12 noon on January 20th to welcome the president here in the Oval Office when he came back from the inauguration — to me, that was … the biggest victory we could ever win.” Klein’s thoughts underscore how serious the Jan. 6, 2021, riot was and what it meant when a riot delayed lawmakers from officially certifying Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. Then-Vice President Mike Pence and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell they were adamant that Congress would re-certify the results of the Electoral College after the rioters were cleared from the building. Legislators finished their work in the early hours of January 7. For those reasons, Klein called Biden’s inauguration the administration’s best day yet. He called the worst day August 20, 2021, when 13 soldiers and 170 Afghans were killed during an attack on Kabul airport as the US tried to quickly withdraw from the war. Biden and the White House have made only sparing comments about the Jan. 6 House committee, which is expected to resume hearings later this fall ahead of the supposed release of a full report on what led up to and unfolded during the White House. During the interview, Klein talked about the president’s recent string of political victories in what he called the “era of substance.” Klein and Democrats are now hoping that November may not be as disastrous as first thought, a historic trend that has long humbled presidents’ parties in their first midterms. “We now have a presidency where the president has delivered the largest economic recovery plan since Roosevelt, the largest infrastructure plan since Eisenhower, the most judges confirmed since Kennedy, the second largest health care bill since Johnson, and the largest climate change bill in history,” Klein said, noting Biden’s first-term accomplishments. “The first time we had gun control since President Clinton was here, the first time an African-American woman was put on the U.S. Supreme Court.” Klein added that this is “a record that needs to reach the American people.”
