In the article by Novyny.LIVE, we will tell you all the details of the inauguration ceremony.
The inauguration procedure
Donald Trump’s inauguration will begin at 12:00 p.m. EDT (19:00 Kyiv time) on the west facade of the Capitol in Washington, DC. First, Vice President J.D. Vance will take the oath of office, followed by the new President himself.
After that, Trump will officially assume office and deliver his inaugural speech, in which he will name the main priorities for his second term. Earlier, he announced that he planned to present himself as a unifier and that unity would be the theme of his speech.
After the transfer of power, incumbent President Joe Biden will leave the Capitol in honor.
After the ceremony, a parade with military units, bands, and NGOs will march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. In the evening, an official ball is scheduled to take place, attended by the new President, Vice President, and their families.
What makes this inauguration special
On December 29, 2024, the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, died, so for 30 days, including the day of the inauguration, national flags will be at half-mast. This is the first ceremony in history when American flags are at half-mast.
In addition, Trump’s inaugural committee has raised a record amount of donations — more than $170 million.
