Trump inauguration day 2025 in photos: Best moments from the president’s swearing in ceremony
The sun has risen on President Biden’s last day — and the first day of President-elect Trump’s second term.
Trump is only the second president in history to serve two non-consecutive terms, after Democrat Grover Cleveland, who completed his second term in 1893.
Monday’s inauguration promises to be filled with dazzling images, thanks to the charismatic president-elect and his famously glamorous female relatives.
Trump will be inaugurated at noon ET in the U.S. Capitol rotunda, rather than outside, due to freezing temperatures.
And a different kind of cold front will likely emerge among Democrats’ spectators, with icy body language on full display.
Election loser Kamala Harris is said to be furious with Joe Biden after the president said last week that he could have defeated Trump if he had run for office again.
Meanwhile, outgoing First Lady Jill Biden is said to resent Harris for helping end her 81-year-old husband’s hopes for a second White House run.
