President-elect Donald Trump announced a significant change to his inauguration plans on Friday, moving key events indoors in response to forecasts of dangerously cold weather in the US capital on January 20. He noted the decision was made with public safety in mind.

Trump revealed that the Inauguration Address, along with prayers and other speeches, will now take place in the United States Capitol Rotunda, citing a similar adjustment made during President Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1985 under comparable weather conditions.

"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," he shared on social media.

The incoming president pointed to predictions of an Arctic blast, which is expected to bring record-low temperatures and wind chills that could make outdoor conditions hazardous for both attendees and participants. He noted the potential risks to first responders, law enforcement personnel, police dogs, horses, and the hundreds of thousands of supporters planning to attend the ceremony. "I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way," Trump stated.

Additionally, the Presidential Parade will now be held at Capital One Arena, where Trump plans to join the crowd after completing the swearing-in ceremony.
