The much-awaited inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump , marking his return as the President of the United States, is set to take place today, January 20, 2025. This historic event will see Trump, 78, sworn in as the 47th President, making a comeback four years after leaving the White House in the aftermath of a tumultuous Capitol attack.
Along with Trump, JD Vance will be sworn in as Vice President at the US Capitol Rotunda, marking a historic moment in American politics. Originally planned for the Capitol's West Front, the ceremony was relocated indoors due to expected freezing temperatures in Washington, D.C.
What Time The Oath Ceremony will take place?
At approximately 12 PM ET, JD Vance will take the oath of office, administered by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This event signifies the beginning of Vance's tenure as Vice President, a position pivotal in the nation's governance.
As mentioned in the CBS News report, according to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the vice presidential oath has historically been administered by various officials. JD Vance continues this tradition, selecting Justice Kavanaugh for the honour, highlighting their shared legal and political backgrounds.
Where to Watch Live
You can watch the ceremony live on Republic TV. Additionally, the White House will also stream the event live on its official website and social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).
Following the oath-taking, the inauguration proceedings will feature customary events such as the signing ceremony, the inaugural luncheon, and the pass in review. These traditions underscore the continuity and ceremonial importance of the presidential transition in American democracy.
