President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance are set to be sworn into office on Monday by a pair of U.S. Supreme Court justices. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath to Trump, while Vance will be sworn in shortly before. The inauguration is expected to be one of the coldest on record, with temperatures predicted to be well below freezing.
President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn into office on Monday by a pair of U.S. Supreme Court justices. A senior source with Trump’s Inaugural Committee confirmed to Breitbart News that Chief Justice John Roberts would administer the oath of office to Trump. This follows tradition as chief justices typically swear in presidents.
While vice presidents have selected various individuals to administer the oath since World War II, most have opted for justices in recent decades. Justice Sonya Sotomayor swore in Vice President Kamala Harris, Justice Clarence Thomas administered the oath to former Vice President Mike Pence, and former Justice John Paul Stevens swore in then-Vice President-elect Joe Biden in 2009. Vance will be sworn in just before noon when Trump takes his oath and assumes the role of president once again. After the swearing-in ceremony on the Western front of the U.S. Capitol, Biden will have a farewell ceremony. Trump and Vance will then attend the inaugural congressional luncheon, also held at the Capitol, before Trump and Vance review the troops. Then, the Presidential Parade will head down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House. Trump, who has an ambitious policy plan for day one, will also have a signing ceremony upon returning to the White House. In the evening, Trump is scheduled to speak at three inaugural balls: the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Liberty Inaugural Ball, and the Starlight Ball. These balls will conclude the ceremonies marking Trump’s return to the presidency. The inauguration is forecast to be one of the coldest in recent history. As of Thursday evening, Apple Weather projected a low of 10 degrees for Monday and a high of 23 degrees for Capitol Hill. This contrasts starkly with Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021, when the high temperature at nearby Ronald Reagan International Airport (DCA) was 45 degrees, and the low temperature was 31 degrees.
