” So, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayer and other remarks, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of extremely cold weather”, Trump continued.
Trump also said the Capitol One Arena, where he is set to maintain a triumph march on Sunday, will become available Monday for the crowds to see his swearing-in somewhat. The area will also be moved inside the inauguration parade, which is scheduled to move through the streets on Monday following his tackle.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Events, which confirmed its intention to “honor the demand,” moved the ceremonies inside to the Rotunda, where Trump traveled last week to meet with soon President Jimmy Carter while he lay in state, and confirmed in a statement that it would honor the demand.
Monday is set to be Washington’s coldest opening in 40 years, with heat never expected to go above 20 deg. In the snowy breezes, it would have felt like one figures.

Joint Information Center,” the United States Secret Service and our federal, state, and local partners are working in close cooperation with the Presidential Inaugural Committee and the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to modify our protection plans as needed in response to the anticipated inclement weather during Monday’s National Opening in Washington, D.

Capitol One Arena has a maximum capacity of just over 20, 000 seats. An estimated 250, 000 people are expected to attend Trump’s inauguration— not just the thousands who hold general admission tickets but also lawmakers, past presidents, businessmen, and celebrities invited by Trump with more privileged access to the grounds.
Not for the first time the weather has forced an inauguration indoors.
Due to minus 40 degrees and air temperatures of 7 degrees and a wind chill of minus 40 degrees, President Ronald Reagan’s inauguration was moved inside in 1985. President William Henry Harrison passed away a month after his inauguration in 1841 as a result of standing outside in the cold rain to deliver his address.
