Winston Churchill reportedly gets the boot, again, as Biden makes changes to Oval Office
January 21, 2021 | Jon Dougherty

President Joe Biden has made a number of changes in Oval Office decor including notable additions and subtractions after former President Donald Trump left on Wednesday.

“All incoming presidents change the decor of the largely-symbolic room to offer a sense of their personality and the type of presidency they hope to have. Biden’s is notable for the sheer number of portraits and busts of well-known American historical figures,” the Washington Post reported.

“This Oval is an Oval for Day One,” Ashley Williams, the deputy director of Oval Office operations, said as she exclusively gave the paper a 20-minute tour before Biden came in.

“It was important for President Biden to walk into an Oval that looked like America and started to show the landscape of who he is going to be as president,” she added, the Post reported.

The office is adorned with busts of Martin Luther King Jr. as well as Robert F. Kennedy, flanking the fireplace. Biden has referred to both men and the impact they had on the 1960s civil rights movement.

Biden is also acknowledging the base of his Democratic Party. Behind the Resolute Desk now sits a bust of Cesar Chavez, an American socialist who became a leader for organized agricultural labor.

“Placing a bust of my father in the Oval Office symbolizes the hopeful new day that is dawning for our nation,” said Paul Chavez, the late labor leader’s middle son and president of a foundation named after his father, Newsweek reported.

Biden also placed busts of Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and another civil rights icon, Rosa Parks.

Biden also placed busts of Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

She persuaded Franklin to stay in politics after he was stricken with a paralytic illness in 1921, which cost him the normal use of his legs, and began giving speeches and appearing at campaign events in his place. Following Franklin's election as Governor of New York in 1928, and throughout the remainder of Franklin's public career in government, Roosevelt regularly made public appearances on his behalf; and as First Lady, while her husband served as president, she significantly reshaped and redefined the role of First Lady.

May as well add a bust of Edith Wilson, then.

Right? That's what I was thinking, too.

Sounds like Jill decorated the office, not Joe.

I think Downtown Willie Brown, who was a real bust, for Heel-Up's office in the basement would be a nice touch..

I remember when Al Gore asked "Who's this?" and it was a bust of Thomas Jefferson.

If Joe decorated it himself, it would be full of pictures of little girls.

Joe Biden Accidentally Celebrates American-First Hero Cesar Chavez

“Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers union, was a fierce opponent of illegal immigration and supporter of tight border controls,” wrote Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration studies. “That’s why it’s fitting to observe March 31 each year as National Border Control Day, in honor of the farmworker leader,” he wrote in 2014
