Now it’s really official.
Moments after being inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden crossed another important milestone in the democratic transfer of power: He @POTUS Twitter account.
Barack Obama was the first president on the @POTUS account. His administration handed over the keys in 2016, and today control of the account returned to the Democratic Party.
The only tweet so far is from January 15, tweeted when the account handle was still @PresElectBiden.
Biden, like the last two presidents, also has his own personal Twitter account (@JoeBiden). The Biden transition team clashed with Twitter over a policy change that restored the @POTUS account to zero followers.
Jill Biden will tweet from @FLOTUS, and Doug Emhoff’s posts will come from @SecondGentleman.
The newly sworn vice president Kamala Harris has also changed her handle: she is now tweeting from @VP.
The last person to control the @POTUS account was banned on Twitter earlier this month.
