January 2021 was marked by significant political events in the United States. On January 6, a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. This unprecedented event led to widespread condemnation and resulted in the second impeachment of President Donald Trump. On January 20, Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, alongside Kamala Harris, who became the first female vice president. The month also saw the continued rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, as countries around the world worked to combat the ongoing pandemic.
