Joe Biden will be inaugurated as America's 46th President this evening.

However there will no crowds of supporters gathered in Washington DC to watch it happen.

About 1,000 guests are expected to be in attendance, but Donald Trump won't be there.

Paul Allen from the Irish for Biden Campaign admits the new President will have a tough task ahead of him.

"With the people surrounding him and the top team he's selected - remember he's not a new guy to the job, he was there as Vice President under Barack Obama - he has a very good, strong team that can help guid him through this.

"He hit the ground running with his $1.9t rescue package - some might say it was a mini 'State of the Union' address."
