President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration swearing-in ceremony is likely going to move indoors because of a frigid forecast.
Inauguration day is often cold, but Monday looks to be especially so. The high is expected to be roughly 20 degrees, with a low of 6 degrees, and strong winds."I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather," ."The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol.
"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way," he added."It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th ."
The change will deprive Trump of the chance to draw a massive crowd on the National Mall to see him sworn in — no doubt something of a disappointment for a man who is obsessed with crowd sizes.In his Truth Social post Friday, he also announced that supporters will be able to watch the inauguration ceremony from the arena on Monday as well.
"We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade," he posted."I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.
