Trump's Second Inauguration Commences Amid Smaller Scale

Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, although the event will be notably smaller than usual due to concerns about the weather and Trump's alleged health issues. Many of his supporters are expected to be left out in the cold despite holding tickets, as VIP attendees have been prioritized. NPR will provide extensive coverage of the inauguration, including live reporting from the ceremony and analysis of the events throughout the day. The U.S. flag is flying at half staff over the Biden White House on this significant day. The inauguration ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. ET, with special programming available on various platforms. Coverage will also include opportunities for viewers to engage through social media channels.
