Trump’s Swearing-In Likely to Move Indoors Due to Frigid Weather: Report- wna24

Washington: President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration may be moved indoor to the Capitol rotunda on Monday due to frigid weather forecast, according to reports.

Inauguration day is typically chilly, but Monday is expected to be particularly cold, with a high of 20 degrees, a low of 6 degrees, and strong winds.

This change would result in fewer people witnessing the moment Trump becomes the 47th president, with the ceremony limited to a smaller indoor group and TV viewers.

The last indoor inauguration ceremony was at Ronald Reagan’s second swearing-in, when the parade was also cancelled.

The decision to move the swearing-in indoors rests with Trump. However, a source familiar with his thoughts mentioned that he is aware of the risks posed by the harsh cold for the thousands of attendees waiting for hours.
