US: Trump Confirms Changes To Inauguration Day Schedule

US

US President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed changes to the official schedule of his January 20 inauguration on his Truth Social account. Due to the extreme cold forecast for the Washington D.C. area on Monday, several key events on the day's agenda are to be moved inside.

  • Trump: "I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda... The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol."
  • Trump: "We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In."
  • Trump: "All other events will remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, on Sunday at 3 P.M. (Doors open at 1 P.M.—Please arrive early!), and all three Inaugural Balls on Monday evening."
  • As noted in the previous bullet: "Moving the swearing-in indoors is unlikely to affect the schedule for the inauguration, with the 20th Amendment to the Constitution declaring that the outgoing president's term ends at 1200ET, meaning there will remain a strong effort to get Trump's swearing-in as close to that point as possible, whether indoors or outside."
