Inauguration Highlights and Challenges

President Trump’s inauguration attracted large crowds, but extreme cold led to a last-minute change, moving the event indoors to the Capitol Rotunda. Many attendees found themselves outside, seeking alternate viewing options, as Capital One Arena could only accommodate a fraction of the estimated 250,000 people present. This unexpected weather condition forced some guests, including those who had received tickets for the event, to scramble for places to watch the proceedings, showcasing the dedication and adaptability of supporters. The inaugural address from President Trump, delivered in the Rotunda, was filled with themes of optimism despite the logistical challenges.
