The inauguration of Donald Trump has faced significant changes due to unusually cold weather, forcing organizers to relocate primary events inside the Capitol Rotunda. This decision sharply decreased the number of those who can witness the event in person, raising concerns among ticketed guests. With the Capitol Rotunda’s limited capacity, many will experience the ceremony from afar, highlighting theevent’s unique circumstances this year.

In anticipation of his swearing-in ceremony, Trump has expressed that his address will focus on unity, strength, and fairness—messages designed to resonate with the American people.

Heightened security is a notable feature for the 2023 inauguration as Trump prepares to officially assume office for his second term. A large law enforcement presence is a response to the political climate and past events which necessitate increased protection. With multiple significant figures expected to attend, the emphasis remains on ensuring a safe environment while accommodating necessary changes amidst unpredictable weather.

Washington D.C. is under heightened security as President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second term inauguration. Final preparations for the event began amidst challenges posed by subfreezing temperatures, which led to significant alterations in plans. Trump will take the oath of office inside the Capitol Rotunda, reducing the potential attendance from over a thousand to around 600 due to capacity restrictions. This change affects many guests who anticipated witnessing the ceremony in person, marking a stark difference from previous inaugurations. The excitement has been palpable in the nation’s capital, as Trump kicked off the inauguration weekend with a fireworks display at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia. He emphasized that his inaugural address would center around themes of unity, strength, and fairness. The day before his swearing-in, Trump participated in a solemn ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery—an event reflecting the gravity of the occasion. Amidst ongoing weather concerns, workers have quickly assembled a stage inside the Capitol Rotunda after Trump’s decision to move the inaugural events indoors due to worries for guests’ safety. The outdoor platform typically utilized for oath-taking will remain unused this year, marking the first indoor swearing-in ceremony since 1985 when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated for his second term. President Biden, members of Congress, and other notable guests are expected to attend, but a considerable number of ticketed guests will miss out on experiencing the event live. Additionally, the Capital One Arena will serve as a venue for live viewing of the inauguration and will also host a presidential parade, where Trump plans to interact with the crowd following his swearing-in ceremony. Trump has expressed that immigration will be a priority upon taking office, with executive actions anticipated on his first day and during his first 100 days in office. ABC News is committed to providing continuous coverage of all inauguration events, with anchors reporting live from Washington, D.C.
