Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025, succeeding Joe Biden and marking the start of his second term in office. He becomes the second president in U.S. history to serve two non-consecutive terms. Due to extreme cold weather in Washington D.C., the inauguration ceremony will take place indoors at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. On the eve of the inauguration, Trump hosted a 'Make America Great Again' victory rally in Washington D.C., where thousands of supporters gathered. After taking the oath, Trump is expected to sign 100 files immediately upon arriving at the White House as he sets out to fulfill his campaign promises, some on his first day in office.
