The temperature in D.C. is forecast to be around 22 degrees at noon on Monday during the swearing-in, the coldest since Ronald Reagan's second inauguration.
For the first time since 1985 and Ronald Reagan’s swearing in, the traditional stage outside of the Capitol will not be used instead. The swearing in will take place inside the Capitol Rotunda with a limited number of VIP guests.
President-elect Donald Trump said his inauguration will take place in the Capitol Rotunda due to dangerously low temperatures.
President-elect Donald Trump will hold a “victory rally” at the Capital One Arena in Washington on Sunday, the day before he is sworn in.
