Trump Inauguration Moves Indoors Amid Extreme Cold

Due to dangerously low temperatures expected on Inauguration Day, President-elect Donald Trump has announced that the inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda, a decision made collaboratively by federal, state, and local partners. The Rotunda, which can accommodate around 700 people, will mainly host members of Congress, their spouses, and VIPs, while the general public will be redirected to the Capital One Arena for a live viewing experience. Security measures are being enhanced, with fencing around the Capitol and a setup resembling protocols used during State of the Union addresses. Trump emphasized the need for public safety, stating he did not want anyone to be injured due to the extreme cold, which is expected to be in the teens with snow predicted. Commemorative tickets may be issued for those unable to attend in person, as the majority of ticketed guests will not have access to the Rotunda. Trump's remarks highlighted the event's significance for a large television audience despite the limited attendance.
