Keke Palmer to Host Inaugural Youth Inauguration Program for Biden Harris Administration

One thing about Keke Palmer, sis is always booked and busy. The beloved actress was tapped to host the first-ever inauguration youth event called  Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans. 

“I can’t wait to host the first-ever #InaugurationDay program for young Americans, featuring @drbiden,” Palmer wrote in an Instagram post announcing the special.

The live stream takes place immediately following the Inauguration ceremony.

“Inaugurations are one of the most important American traditions,” First Lady Dr. Jill Biden said in a video posted to the Biden Inaugural Instagram account, per USA Today. “And this year, for the first time ever, we’re streaming a special live broadcast made for students and families across the country. Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans.”

“Join me and host Keke Palmer, along with lots of other special guests, as we come together to make history,” Biden said. “See you at the Capitol!”

The Nickelodeon-produced event will feature commentary from historians Doris Kearns Goodwin and Erica Armstrong Dunbar, and trivia questions from Harris’ husband, First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

Biden-Harris Inauguration Rehearsal Postponed Due to Security Threats

Biden Harris Inauguration Rehearsal Postponed Due to Security Threats

A rehearsal for the upcoming Biden-Harris inauguration was rescheduled due to an “extensive amount of concerning online chatter” that the FBI has been tracking.

The FBI says they have reasons to believe that there is a nationwide call for violence at every Capitol leading up to Inauguration Day.

The rehearsal was scheduled for Sunday and will now be held on Monday.

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has authorized up to 21,000 National Guard troops in and around Washington, D.C. in the days up to and during the Biden inauguration. 

“As always, our first priority is to protect people and property — and the safety and wellbeing of our National Guard personnel and their families,” Army General Daniel Hokanson told Military Times. “I visit with these men and women every night, and they understand the importance of this mission. They are also proven, prepared and proud to do their part to ensure a peaceful and safe inauguration of our incoming commander-in-chief.”

The President-elect also canceled his planned Amtrak commute from Delaware to the nation’s capitol due to safety concerns.

Inauguration Day is on January 20th and a star-studded event is planned with performances by Jennifer Lopez and John Legend. The highly-anticipated event will be hosted by Tom Hanks and Lady Gaga is set to sing the National Anthem.

Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga to Perform at Biden-Harris Inauguration

Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga to Perform at Biden Harris Inauguration

Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga are on deck for the Biden-Harris Inauguration on January 20th.

The “Poker Face” singer will sing the “Star-Spangled Banner” for the swearing-in ceremony in front of Capitol Hill. She will share the stage with J.Lo who is set to perform.

The itinerary also consists of essential worker, Andrea Hall, who will do the Pledge of Allegiance, a poem by the first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman.

Additional artists for the Biden-Harris Inauguration have yet to be announced but considering the current social climate and recent events, the Democratic event is expected to draw in a star-studded guest list of supporters.

Donald Trump already announced that he will not be in attendance, but his VP, Mike Pence will be. Former Presidents Barack Obama, George Clinton, and George W. Bush announced that they will be there to see Biden-Harris get sworn in.

Are you ready for the moment we’ve all been waiting for?

There are safety concerns following the deadly Capitol riots incited by Trump, so Joe Biden is canceling his planned commute via Amtrak. 

The President-elect hoped to recreate the journey on the Amtrak which began as a tradition during his 1988 Presidential campaign. 

“The nation has continued to learn more about the threat to our democracy and about the potential for additional violence in the coming days, both in the National Capital Region and in cities across the country,” the transition team said in a statement after the briefing on Wednesday. “This is a challenge that the president-elect and his team take incredibly seriously.”
