Here's what we know about Inauguration Day so far:
When is the inauguration?
Donald Trump will take the oath of office at 12 pm. EST (1700 GMT) on January 20, likely administered by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, in front of the US Capitol. He will then deliver his inaugural address, which he has described as uplifting and unifying, marking a departure from his 2017 speech that depicted the country as“American Carnage.”
The outgoing president, Democrat Joe Biden, has said he plans to attend the ceremony and witness the transfer of power, a courtesy Trump did not afford him four years earlier. The joint congressional committee that administers the swearing-in ceremony on the Capitol grounds says it will be releasing more than 220,000 tickets for the event, Reuters reported.
The National Park Service has issued a permit to Trump's inauguration committee for an estimated crowd of 250,000 people at the National Mall, where unticketed members of the public will gather to watch the ceremony. Country music star Carrie Underwood is expected to perform at Trump's swearing-in ceremony.
