Donald Trump returns to office as the President of the United States on Monday, when he will be inaugurated alongside Vice President-elect JD Vance during a ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.
The inauguration starts at 10:30 a.m. CT with the swearing-in of Trump as 47th president expected sometime around 11 a.m. The event will be held indoors instead of its traditional outdoor setting due to concerns over cold weather.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will administer the VP oath of office for Vance, while Chief Justice John Roberts will handle the presidential oath of office for Trump.
Country singer Carrie Underwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio are among those set to perform.
Trump inauguration 2025
After years of warm relations with the Biden White House, a new, grim reality sets in for Illinois when Trump is inaugurated at noon ET on Monday.
Chicago and suburban voters share their thoughts on the incoming administration from “cautiously optimistic” to anxiety and concern. “Is he going to be more divisive as a president?”
Mayor Brandon Johnson says he is hoping to get a meeting with Trump, whose hostility to Chicago dates back to his first run for president.
Trump’s swearing-in lands on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the national holiday celebrating the civil rights icon always held on the third Monday in January.
