Inauguration Day schedule for Trump's swearing-in ceremony today

Donald Trump will take the oath of office today to officially begin his second term as President of the United States.

The swearing-in ceremony, marking the transfer of power from the Biden administration, will solidify Trump’s return to the White House.

In accordance with the 20th Amendment, the president-elect's term commences at noon on January 20. Trump's inauguration will be the culmination of a series of carefully planned events overseen by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. This year's committee, chaired by Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, has themed the ceremonies “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise.”

The day's schedule is packed with tradition and symbolism. The events, beginning with a musical prelude by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Combined Choirs and “The President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band, are set to unfold indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to Washington’s cold weather.

Klobuchar will formally open the proceedings, followed by an invocation delivered by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, and the Rev. Franklin Graham. Christopher Macchio, a celebrated opera singer known as "America’s Tenor," will perform Oh, America!

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will administer the vice-presidential oath of office to JD Vance, marking another milestone in the day's events. "America the Beautiful," performed by country singer Carrie Underwood alongside the Armed Forces Chorus and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club, will follow the vice-presidential swearing-in.

Chief Justice John Roberts will then lead the pivotal moment of the ceremony by administering the presidential oath to Trump. Once sworn in, Trump will address the nation in his inaugural speech.

Other highlights include the Naval Academy Glee Club's rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic and a benediction featuring an interfaith coalition of leaders: Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, Imam Husham Al-Husainy, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and Rev. Father Frank Mann.

The program will conclude with a stirring performance of the National Anthem by Christopher Macchio, bringing the historic day to a close.
