据了解，2021年1月20日，拜登在首都华盛顿国会山举行的就职典礼上正式宣誓就任美国第46任总统，时任美国总统特朗普没有参加这场就职典礼。特朗普此举打破美国历史传统，使他成为150年来首位不出席继任总统就职典礼的现任总统。

"The fact that he doesn't abide by the rules of the democracy we've established is not my concern," Biden said in the interview, conducted on Monday. "My job is to make a transition workable and available."
