On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his second, non-consecutive term in office. Due to anticipated freezing temperatures and high winds, the inauguration ceremony has been relocated indoors to the United States Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. This adjustment ensures the safety and comfort of attendees, a priority emphasized by President-elect Trump.
The inauguration events will commence on January 19 with a wreath-laying ceremony, a victory rally, and a candlelight dinner. On January 20, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take the oath of office, followed by President-elect Trump. The ceremony will feature performances by Carrie Underwood, who will sing “America the Beautiful,” and the Village People. Additional performances at the inaugural balls will include artists such as Gavin DeGraw, Jason Aldean, Nelly, and Rascal Flatts. Notably, former President Joe Biden and other former presidents, including Barack Obama, are expected to attend the ceremony.
