Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States today, January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C., with the oath of office scheduled for noon Eastern Standard Time. The ceremony marks Trump's second term in office following his victory in the 2024 presidential election. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath. Due to cold weather in Washington, the inauguration ceremony will be held indoors at the United States Capitol building's dome instead of the usual outdoor setting, marking the first time in 40 years that the ceremony has been moved indoors. Prior to the inauguration, Trump promised to act with "historic speed and strength" in his upcoming term. Live coverage of the inauguration is being broadcast across various media outlets worldwide.
