Former President Donald Trump was elected to another term defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to USA TODAY, Trump’s win is considered one of the most remarkable comebacks in political history, with him reclaiming the White House just four years after voters rejected his first attempt at a second term.
Trump defeated Harris by capturing at least 270 of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency. However, his tally could increase as more votes are counted.
But when will Trump and soon-to-be Vice President J.D. Vance be sworn into office? Let’s take a look.
The next inauguration ceremony will be held on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.
The inauguration ceremony takes place at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.
During Inauguration Day, the vice-president-elect is sworn in first and repeats the same oath of office recited by senators, representatives and other federal employees. The following oath has been in use since 1884:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
Then the president-elect recites another oath around noon that is in line with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The inauguration is planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. The events include the swearing-in, the inaugural address and a review of the troops.
Previous performers and speakers have included Beyoncé, Garth Brooks, Lady Gaga and Amanda Gorman. There are other events leading up to and after the inauguration, including the Inaugural Parade and the Inaugural Balls, USA Today reports.
