Donald Trump's inauguration: when and where it will take place.
Novini.LIVE reports on when the inauguration will take place and what to expect.
Date and Location of Trump's Inauguration
Trump's inauguration will take place on Monday, January 20. This marks the beginning of his second term as the leader of the United States.
The ceremony will be held at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, starting around 12:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Kyiv time).
Features of Inauguration in the USA
The inauguration of the U.S. president is the official ceremony for the oath of office and the swearing-in of the president and vice president.
It occurs between 73 and 79 days after the presidential election concludes.
The event is held for each new presidential term, even if the sitting president continues to serve a second term.
It is known that the vice president will be J.D. Vance.
The presidential oath is the only mandatory element of the inauguration specified by the U.S. Constitution. Traditionally, it is administered by the Chief Justice of the United States.
Since 1789, the oath has been administered 59 times by 15 Chief Justices, one Associate Justice, and a judge from New York State.
In the event of a presidential change due to the predecessor's death or resignation, other officials may administer the oath.
Over time, the inauguration evolved from a simple oath-taking ceremony into a large one-day event featuring parades and various social activities.
The event is broadcast live on television channels and news networks, as well as through online platforms.
Until 1933, the inauguration took place on March 4, but after the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, it was moved to January 20.
Who Will Attend the Event
At Trump's inauguration, Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will be present. He emphasized the importance of the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power.
It is now known that the following will also attend:
- President of Argentina Javier Milei;
- Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni;
- Members of Congress;
- Supreme Court Justices;
- High-ranking military officials;
- Former presidents and vice presidents;

We remind you that after the inauguration, Trump may declare an economic state of emergency in the United States of America.
