President Joe Biden entered the White House under unprecedented circumstances. He's now a little more than halfway into his critical first 100 days in office.
Just weeks before his inauguration, the US Capitol was stormed by pro-Trump rioters, and former President Donald Trump was impeached for a second time, all during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that, at the time of his inauguration, had killed 400,000 Americans in less than a year.
Biden assumed office on January 20, ushering in a new historic era - rolling out vaccines at an accelerated pace and pushing his $1.9 trillion stimulus package through Congress, the American Rescue Plan.
In a world still physically divided with health safety in mind, White House photographers offered a glimpse into the West Wing and beyond to show the inner workings of the Biden administration:
