00:00Mindy Kaling, Dan Rather and Billy Eichner were among the many Hollywood figures who shared their reactions to the inauguration of Joe Biden as president and historic swearing in of Kamala Harris as vice president.
00:12Wednesday afternoon ushered in a new president and vice president after a tumultuous four years under the leadership of now former president Donald Trump, a moment not lost on many in Hollywood.
00:23The inauguration process may be best remembered by how civil the ceremonies were, with Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy simply tweeting the decency of it all.
00:31But undoubtedly one of the biggest moments of the day was the history-making swearing in of the nation's first female vice president, Kamala Harris.
00:39Harris became the first black woman and first South Asian woman to hold the post, a meaningful moment for Mindy Kaling, who posted an image of her daughter watching as Harris took the oath, writing,
00:49It matters. Happy inauguration, everyone. While Billy Eichner tweeted how he felt watching the new VP take the ceremonious walk to her new office.
