Trump's Inauguration Day viewing, parade moved to Capital One Arena
Trump's Inauguration Day viewing, parade moved to Capital One Arena
By Sylvia Mphofe | Updated January 17, 2025 3:18pm EST | Inauguration Day | FOX 5 DC |
The Brief
• The inauguration ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump is moved to inside the U.S. Capitol rotunda due to very cold temperatures.
• Trump announced there will be live viewing of the swearing-in ceremony and parade at Capital One Arena.
• The president-elect cited freezing temperatures and an "obligation to protect the people of our Country."

What we don't know
What we don't know: At this time, no information has been released about the timing for doors to open at Capital One Arena, Trump's arrival, or who will be able to attend in person at Capitol One Arena, which seats 20,000-- under a tenth of the amount of tickets planned for the event when it was set to be held outdoors.
