President-elect Donald Trump has announced that the upcoming presidential inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to forecasts of intense cold weather in Washington, D.C. Trump cited concerns for the safety of attendees, stating that the Arctic blast sweeping the country could lead to severe record lows.
This decision marks a significant departure from the original plan for a massive outdoor event on the National Mall, with more than 250,000 guests holding tickets to view the ceremony from various locations around the Capitol grounds. The move indoors will limit the number of ticketed guests who can attend in person, with alternative plans being devised to accommodate as many people as possible.
