President-elect Donald Trump has announced Friday that, due to the extreme cold weather expected on Monday, the swearing-in ceremony and his Inaugural Address will be moved indoors, to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

The temperature on Monday is expected to only be around 20 degrees for a high, with a low of 9 degrees.  The wind during the freezing cold temperatures will make it even more dangerous.  There is also reportedly a possibility of a snow storm on Sunday.

CNBC explained: The decision will make Trump’s the first presidential inauguration to be held indoors since 1985, when then-President Ronald Reagan was sworn in for his second term. That ceremony was also moved indoors due to bitterly cold temperatures.

In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump announced:

January 20th cannot come fast enough! Everybody, even those that initially opposed a Victory by President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration, just want it to happen. It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country.

I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!).

Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather. The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!

We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.

All other events will remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, on Sunday at 3 P.M. (Doors open at 1 P.M.—Please arrive early!), and all three Inaugural Balls on Monday evening.

Everyone will be safe, everyone will be happy, and we will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
