Days before bitter cold descends on the nation’s capital for the inauguration of Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport has a problem with its heating system in the terminal.
Ronald and Nancy Reagan were disappointed, but felt they had no choice. That's what White House Press Secretary Larry Speakes told reporters on Jan. 18, 1985, after the Republican president and first
President-elect Donald Trump's will be sworn in under the Capitol Rotunda, rather than outside. But he's not the only president inaugurated in an unusual location.
A "combination of strong winds and very cold temperatures will result in dangerously cold wind chills," the National Weather Service said.
The rug, which was in place during Ronald Reagan’s administration and during Trump’s first term, was reinstalled during Trump’s inauguration ceremony, according to CBS News. The Resolute Desk had to be partially disassembled in order to facilitate its return.
Of those thousands of people in Washington D.C. to witness Monday's events, many of them are from Ohio that traveled to see a fellow Buckeye be sworn in.
Since inaugurations started to be held outside in 1817, Trump's will be just the fourth inauguration in history to be held inside. Between 1789 and 1817, for the swearing in of presidents George Washington, Jon Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, inaugurations took place indoors.
Unlike past incoming presidents, Trump knows how to get his agenda done because he already had one term sitting in the Oval Office.
President-elect Donald Trump explains why his inauguration will be held indoors, the first time a presidential inauguration will be inside since 1985.
The second Presential inauguration of Donald Trump averaged 24.3 million viewers, a audience lower than Biden in 2021 (33.8 million) and Trump in 2017 (30.6 million).
