Donald Trump Inaugurated as 47th President Indoors Due to Weather

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025, marking his return to the presidency for a non-consecutive term. The ceremony was held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to severe cold weather, a significant departure from traditional outdoor inaugurations. At 78 years old, Trump became the oldest person to assume the presidency, surpassing Joe Biden's previous record. His inauguration is historic not only because of his age but also as he is the first U.S. president to serve while facing a felony conviction. Trump won the 2024 election decisively against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, securing 312 electoral votes to her 226. The day included a reimagined inaugural parade and continued plans for lavish celebrations despite the weather changes.
