WATCH: Biden gives farewell remarks at Joint Base Andrews after departing Washington

Former President Joe Biden addressed the crowd at Joint Base Andrews, moments after departing the U.S. Capitol where President Donald Trump delivered his inaugural address.
“We've always done our best as Americans. We never, never, never give up. Ever,” he said. “We're leaving office. We're not leaving the fight.”
He urged Americans to stay engaged because "we got more work to do."
“Whether it's a public service or the private sector or philanthropy, academia, running for office yourself - anything else you choose to do. I give you my word, we believe in you,” he said.
The inauguration ceremony, including the swearings-in, took place indoors this year, a last-minute change to the pomp and circumstance due to extreme cold forecasted for the nation’s capital.
When Trump returns to the White House on Monday, he’s expected to act quickly on his campaign promises and roll back his predecessor’s policies. As his second term begins, his party controls both chambers of Congress and conservative justices have a majority on the Supreme Court. Trump is only the second president to return to office in non-consecutive terms, the only president convicted of a felony and the oldest person to win election to the White House.
