Inauguration day is almost here. President Biden will hand over power to President-elect Donald J. Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Monday.
After the day’s ceremonies, which were held indoors due to the cold, Mr. Trump is expected to sign a series of executive orders. The evening will end with inaugural balls.
We will have live coverage beginning early in the morning and continuing well into the night, with more than two dozen reporters and visual journalists on the ground and more ready to report on executive orders and gather feedback from all over the country.
Mr. Trump’s inauguration ceremony will begin at noon Eastern time, but the action will begin earlier, as the Trumps arrive for morning services at St. John’s Church in Washington.
The swearing-in will now take place inside the Capitol rotunda. This will be the first time the ceremony has been held indoors since 1985, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated for his second term. The bitter cold also motivated this decision.
Mr. Trump, in announcing the change of plans Friday, also canceled the traditional parade, noting that guests would be invited to attend the inaugural debates at the nearby Capital One Arena. He said he would join them after the ceremony.
