A cold presidential inauguration? Trump moves ceremony indoors | Donald Trump News

Facing an icy polar vortex, United States President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to move his next inauguration ceremony indoors.

Traditionally, the ceremony takes place outdoors, most often on the marble steps of the Capitol in Washington, DC.

But with meteorologists predicting one of the coldest inauguration days in recent history, Trump decided Friday that security necessitated a slight change of venue.

An arctic explosion sweeps the country. I don't want to see people hurt in any way, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

These are dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of law enforcement officers, first responders, police K9s and even horses, as well as the hundreds of thousands of fans who will be outside for many hours.

Trump's ceremony, scheduled for Monday, will now take place under the Capitol rotunda, its curved sandstone walls covered in paintings of American history.

Only one other president has been sworn in under the Capitol dome, inside the rotunda: fellow Republican Ronald Reagan.

Reagan's second inauguration, in 1985, was also one of the coldest, even exceeding the freezing temperatures predicted for Monday. The weather hovered around -14 degrees Celsius, or just 7 degrees Fahrenheit, with the wind chill making the air even colder.

For Monday, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures will peak at -6 degrees Celsius, or 22 degrees Fahrenheit.

Trump compared his situation to Reagan's in a Friday social media post. He also addressed the question of reception capacity in a space as confined as the rotunda.

Under the original plan, about 250,000 guests had tickets to attend the inauguration near and around the Capitol steps.

Trump confirmed that various dignitaries and guests would still join him in the rotunda to attend the ceremony in person.

It will be a great experience for everyone, and especially for the general television audience! Trump wrote.

But other in-person attendees were encouraged to go to Capitol One Arena, where the inauguration would be broadcast live.

I will join the crowd at Capital One after my swearing in, Trump added. He plans to also hold a victory rally there on Sunday.

The U.S. Capitol has hosted inaugurations 55 times, with 34 ceremonies taking place on the East Portico, a colonnade located on the exterior of the building.

Relatively few ceremonies were held indoors, but when the ceremony was held indoors, the Senate Chamber and the House of Representatives both served as backdrops.

The cold weather has wreaked havoc on past ceremonies held outdoors. In 1873, for example, President Ulysses Grant saw soldiers collapsing around him and freezing winds made his speech difficult to hear.

And historians speculate about the extent to which humid conditions on Inauguration Day contributed to the death of William Henry Harrison, who caught pneumonia and died just a month into his presidency.

His inaugural address was the longest in U.S. history and his term the shortest.
