Vox reports that the clergy who will deliver the invocation and benediction at President Joe Biden's inauguration today are men with whom Biden has close personal ties. Fr. Leo O’Donovan who will deliver the invocation was president of Georgetown University from 1980- 2001. Biden's son Hunter was student at Georgetown during part of this period. Rev. Silvester Beaman who will deliver the closing benediction is pastor of the predominately African-American Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware.
