About Donald Trump’s inauguration
President-elect Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in November’s election to earn another four years in the White House. The inauguration itself will be somewhat different than in years past, as Trump has decided to move most of the proceedings indoors, thanks to a frigid forecast in Washington, D.C.
The ceremony will include a rendition of the national anthem by Carrie Underwood along with other festivities. Coverage of the day’s events will continue on until the evening when some networks will take viewers into the various inaugural balls dotting the D.C. landscape.
