Congress gaveled into session

The 115th Congress has been gaveled into session.
Seven new members of the Senate joined those who won re-election in receiving the oath of office from Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden is the president of the Senate until Donald Trump becomes president Jan. 20. Then Mike Pence will take over.
Each senator was joined at the dais by current and former senators. They then took their new desks and chatted with fellow lawmakers.
