Inauguration Day started with President-elect Donald Trump and incoming First Woman Melania Trump attending a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church joined by Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and their households and different dignitaries. The Trumps then headed to the White Home for tea with President Joe Biden and First Woman Jill Biden.
At round 11:30 a.m. Vance will probably be sworn in as vice chairman by Supreme Courtroom Justice Brett Kavanaugh within the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Following that, Trump will obtain the oath of workplace from Chief Justice John Roberts. By legislation, Trump formally turns into the forty seventh President of the US at midday.
After the ceremony, the Bidens will depart Washington, D.C. on Marine One, as is typical for outgoing presidents.
Trump will participate in a signing ceremony following his swearing-in which will probably be adopted by an inaugural luncheon that can happen in Statuary Corridor.
The normal presidential parade that usually takes place down Pennsylvania Avenue has been moved to the Capitol One enviornment because of the frigid temperatures in Washington.
