President-elect Donald Trump announced on Friday that his second inauguration will be moved indoors due to expected freezing temperatures, citing that "the windchill factor could take temperatures into severe record lows." This decision is made to ensure the safety of attendees as an Arctic blast affects the country.
Trump noted in his post that the ceremony will be held in the Capitol rotunda, referencing that this has occurred previously during Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985 due to similar weather conditions.
In a change of tradition, Trump indicated that the presidential parade would be relocated to Capital One arena, allowing for a live viewing of the event while ensuring comfortable conditions for attendees.
Trump's announcement highlights a significant deviation from the usual outdoor setting of the inauguration, which is typically hosted on a platform in front of the United States Capitol for public visibility from the National Mall.
