President Trump's inauguration will be held in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda instead of on the National Mall due to an expected arctic blast with temperatures dipping to 6 degrees Fahrenheit and strong winds. The decision comes as a disappointment to some supporters who traveled long distances to witness the event in person, while others expressed understanding for the safety concerns.
Inauguration day is often cold, but Monday looks to be especially so. The high is expected to be roughly 20 degrees, with a low of 6 degrees, and strong winds."I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather," ."The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol.
"We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade," he posted."I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.
