Fri Dec 27 10:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Trump to be Sworn in on Historic Inauguration Day Coinciding with MLK Day
**Washington, D.C. –** Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20th, 2025, a date that holds unique historical significance as it coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This marks Trump’s second, non-consecutive term following his November victory.
The inauguration ceremony will follow traditional protocol, beginning with President Biden welcoming Trump at the White House. The official swearing-in ceremony will take place at the U.S. Capitol around noon, administered by the Chief Justice of the United States, followed by Trump’s inaugural address. A parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and celebratory inaugural balls will conclude the day’s events.
President-elect Trump’s transition team is actively filling key cabinet and senior government positions. Congress will convene in early January to formally certify the Electoral College results, a procedural step that will officially confirm Trump’s victory. This process, which was marred by violence in 2021, is expected to proceed without incident this time. Following the certification, the Biden administration will begin its transition out of office. The convergence of Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day creates a historically significant backdrop for the commencement of Trump’s second term.
