On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump and JD Vance were sworn in as the 47th and 60th presidents and vice presidents of the United States. Due to the cold weather and strong gusts, the inauguration was held inside the United States Capitol Rotunda instead.
This was Trump’s second inauguration, his second and final non-consecutive term as president, Vance’s first stint as vice president, and the second non-consecutive re-inauguration of a US president. The inauguration was the ceremonial culmination of Trump’s presidential transition, which began with his election as president-elect on November 6, 2024. On December 17, 2024, the Electoral College formally elected Trump and Vance, and on January 6, 2025, a joint session of Congress recognized their victory with an electoral vote tally.
The inauguration was the first indoor presidential ceremony since Ronald Reagan’s public inauguration in 1985.
