WASHINGTON, D.C. – Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, January 20th, in a ceremony held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to a severe winter storm warning. This marks the coldest inauguration day since 1985. The event, themed “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise,” began at 11:30 am EST and included a traditional tea with outgoing President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House. A service at St. John’s Episcopal Church preceded the ceremony. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh administered the oath of office to Vice President-elect JD Vance, followed by Chief Justice John Roberts swearing in President Trump. The ceremony featured musical performances by various groups, including the United States Marine Band, Carrie Underwood, and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club. The move to the Capitol Rotunda marked the first time in four decades that an inauguration was held indoors due to weather conditions.
