When Joe Biden gives his inaugural address this week, he will do so from a place that will illustrate the magnitude of the challenge he faces as the 46th U.S.

"In the eyes of many in the world, this every four years ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle," President Ronald Reagan said in his 1981 inaugural address.

Even in his dark and divisive inaugural address in 2017, remembered for his proclamation that he would stop "this American carnage" faced by "the forgotten men and women of our country," Trump endorsed the tradition.

"Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition," Trump said in his speech.

It's all combining to give Biden an oratorical challenge unlike any president who came before him.

"There are threads of analogies that you can pull from other speeches, but there is not a boilerplate that Joe Biden can pull from to give him a sense of what to do here," said Jeff Shesol, a historian who was a speechwriter for former President Bill Clinton.
