Donald Trump is set for his second inauguration as President of the United States on January 20, 2025. The swearing-in ceremony will take place indoors in the Capitol Rotunda at noon ET due to sub-freezing temperatures in Washington. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath of office, marking Trump’s official start to his second term. The event includes a morning worship service, a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, and several inaugural balls.
Prior to the inauguration, Trump will hold a MAGA rally at Capital One Arena and a candlelight dinner. The inauguration will be funded through private donations, with major contributors including tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Ford.
