The inauguration of the Republican in Washington, DC at noon local time (17:00 GMT) was initially planned to hold outdoors – on the marble steps of the Capitol, as usual – however, it was relocated indoors as a result of frigid weather.
78-year-old Trump’s return to the White House is happening four (4) years after his previous re-election attempt ended in defeat.
Trump defeated Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party in the US Presidential Election 2024 to emerge the next President of the US; the US Presidential Election 2024 held on Tuesday 5 November, 2024.
Senator JD Vance, Vice President-elect, will also take the oath of office in Monday’s ceremony.
