During an inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, Trump and Vance will be sworn into office, kicking off their new administration. Trump has already spoken about the event, claiming his political opponents are “giddy” because U.S. flags will be at half-mast for his inauguration to honor the death of former President Jimmy Carter.
