Donald Trump will take his oath of office on Jan. 20 at 12:00 pm ET. The president-elect announced last week that the Inauguration Address will take place indoors due to extreme weather caused by the “Arctic blast sweeping the country.”
“Therefore, 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,” said Trump.
According to NPR, Trump’s inauguration will be attended by tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew. Trump’s transition team also confirmed that Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will also attend the ceremony.
