President-elect Donald Trump's second inauguration ceremony has been moved from the traditional outdoor location on the Capitol steps to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda due to forecasted winter weather. This decision marks a rare departure from the usual setting for inaugurations.
President-elect Donald Trump 's inauguration ceremony has been moved to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on Monday due to anticipated winter weather in Washington, D.C., according to ABC News sources. This marks a departure from the traditional outdoor setting on the Capitol steps. Both Trump and Vice-President-elect JD Vance will be sworn into office inside the Rotunda , the sources said.
The coldest inauguration on record occurred on January 20, 1985, during President Ronald Reagan's second swearing-in ceremony. With temperatures reaching only 7F at noon, the event was moved indoors, and the traditional parade was canceled. Henry Taft's inauguration in 1909 was also held indoors due to a severe storm that dropped 10 inches of snow over the city. For Trump's second inauguration, the weather forecast predicts chilly temperatures with blustery winds and wind chills in the low 20s during the afternoon. Snow is not expected on Monday, but a departing weather system Sunday night is predicted to bring 1 to 3 inches of snow to the National Mall. It remains unclear how this change will affect other scheduled events and the Inauguration Day Parade. According to CNN, Trump's team is considering holding some of the festivities at Capitol One Arena in D.C., where Trump is expected to hold a rally. Tens of thousands of people are planning to travel to the National Mall to witness Trump being sworn in publicly, but those plans are still under consideration, the sources told CNN
