The sudden weather-induced change forced a scramble for hundreds of thousands of people who had spent months planning for the swearing-in of the nation’s 47th president.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony is moving indoors to the Capitol rotunda because of a frigid weather forecast in the nation's capital Monday, the president-elect announced on social media Friday.

President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration takes place Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C. USA TODAY will stream it live, as will these major TV networks.

Bad weather forecasts mean President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office from inside the Capitol Rotunda and people visiting Washington from around the country won’t be able to see it in person.

The potential change, a rare break with tradition, would deny Mr. Trump the pomp and large audience he hoped for at his second swearing-in.

Trump's second inauguration day will begin with a service at St John's Church, Lafayette Square, a historic Washington DC church, followed by tea at the White House. Musical performances and opening remarks are set to begin at 09:30 EST (14:30 GMT).

President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that he will move the inauguration ceremony indoors as Washington, DC prepares for record low temperatures. The ceremony will now take place inside the Capitol rotunda.

The 2026 World Cup. The 2028 Olympics. (And, on a more somber note, the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.)

Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States on Monday, ushering in his second term in office and capping one of the most astounding political comebacks in American history.
