Trump Moves Inauguration Indoors Amid Arctic Blast

Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025, will be held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to a severe cold weather forecast, marking the first indoor swearing-in since Ronald Reagan in 1985. The decision to move the event inside was made to ensure the safety of attendees, as temperatures are expected to drop to dangerously low levels, with wind chill factors pushing the conditions to record lows. Trump announced the change via social media, stating that he wants to prevent any injuries among the large crowds expected to gather. The inaugural address and prayers will now take place inside, while the Presidential Parade will also shift to the Capital One Arena. Notably, country singer Carrie Underwood will perform at the inauguration, a decision that has seen less backlash compared to past ceremonies. This shift in public sentiment reflects the changing political climate surrounding Trump's second term.
