White House and Oval Office in middle of Biden makeover

January 21, 2021 01:06

Before US President Joe Biden even reaches the White House, some members of his staff have already arrived in the West Wing and are beginning to unpack.

Aides tell CNN they arrived moments after Biden was sworn in.

A hallway in the West Wing filled with framed photographs of the Trump administration was swiftly replaced with gold-framed images of Bidens last speech in Delaware and Tuesday nights Covid-19 memorial on the National Mall, including photos of the president and the first lady.

Aides from the information technology department were seen removing keyboards from every desk and replacing them with a fresh, new keyboard, along with monitors and docking stations. A cart full of new keyboards was in the hallway between lower and upper press offices.

In addition to the new tech gear, each desk had a personal desk starter kit with basic office supplies, as well as a sheet with emergency procedure protocols, and the names and phone numbers of different offices.

Plexiglass barricades were installed at the desk of a US Secret Service agent stationed in the West Wing.
