Donald Trump: What happens at the inauguration of the new US president? | Newsround

This script describes the events surrounding Donald Trump’s second inauguration as President of the United States. Due to freezing weather in Washington, D.C., the ceremony will be held indoors for the first time in 40 years. The inauguration is marked by Trump taking the oath of office and delivering the inaugural address, outlining his plans as president. The day also involves movers preparing the White House for Trump's return, and a parade to celebrate his presidency. The inauguration traditionally takes place on January 20th, a tradition that dates back to America's early presidents, with a gap between the election and inauguration for logistical reasons. Joe Biden and other prominent figures are expected to attend.
