WATCH LIVE: President Donald Trump’s Swearing-In and Inaugural Address

On Monday, January 20, President Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking the beginning of his second term in office. The event, moved indoors due to cold weather, promises to be an extravagant affair that showcases Trump’s unique style, his influence on the global stage, and the loyalty of his supporters.

You can watch all the events of Inauguration Day on our livestream, which includes a lineup of performances, speeches, and notable appearances. Here’s what to expect.


A Return to the White House: A New Chapter in Trump’s Presidency

Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be a blend of tradition and spectacle. Unlike his first inauguration eight years ago, this ceremony comes with broader support from business elites, global leaders, and influential figures who once distanced themselves from him. This marks a stark contrast to 2017, when Trump’s presidency began with skepticism from several corners of society.


Inside the Capitol Rotunda: Who’s Attending?

The inauguration will take place in the Capitol Rotunda, which accommodates about 600 guests. This limited capacity means the event will be an exclusive gathering of influential figures, including:

  • Melania Trump and the Trump family: President Trump will be joined by his wife, his five children, and grandchildren.
  • Key advisors: Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump, who have played significant roles in shaping Trump’s campaign and future policies.
  • Business titans and tech leaders: Notable attendees include Elon Musk (Tesla and X), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), and Sam Altman (OpenAI).

In addition to these high-profile guests, Supreme Court justices, military leaders, former presidents and their spouses, and Cabinet nominees will also attend. However, several Democratic lawmakers are expected to skip the ceremony.


Entertainment and Performances

The inauguration will feature an impressive lineup of performers, blending patriotism and cultural nostalgia:

  • Carrie Underwood: The country music superstar will sing “America the Beautiful” just before Chief Justice John Roberts administers the oath of office.
  • The Village People: The late-70s disco group known for “Y.M.C.A.” will perform at a rally on Sunday and one of the inaugural balls. Their hit song has been a staple of Trump’s rallies, often accompanied by the president’s signature dance moves.
  • Christopher Macchio: The opera singer will perform the “Star-Spangled Banner”.
  • Lee Greenwood: Known for his patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” Greenwood has been a favorite at Trump events.
  • Other notable performers: Singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, country stars Jason Aldean, Parker McCollum, and Rascal Flatts will entertain guests at three inaugural balls planned for the evening.

The Inaugural Address

Trump’s inaugural speeches are known for their bold promises and unfiltered rhetoric. In 2017, he vowed to end “American carnage” and implement an “America First” approach. This year’s address is expected to follow a similar theme, focusing on:

  • Unity and Strength: Trump has described the theme of his speech as centered on “fairness,” emphasizing the need to treat people justly.
  • Border Security: A key promise is launching the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • Economic Revival: Trump plans to usher in a “golden age” through tariffs on imports and policies designed to revitalize domestic industries.

In a statement to NBC News, Trump highlighted the challenges of his first term and the need to address perceived injustices, stating: “We went through hell for four years… something has to be done about it.”


Foreign Leaders in Attendance

For the first time, foreign leaders have been officially invited to a U.S. inauguration, marking a break from tradition. Notable attendees include:

  • Javier Milei, President of Argentina.
  • Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy.
  • Representatives from Ecuador and Paraguay.

While Chinese President Xi Jinping declined the invitation, he has sent Vice President Han Zheng as his special representative. This unprecedented inclusion underscores Trump’s emphasis on fostering international relationships during his second term.


What Makes This Inauguration Different?

  1. Global Support: Unlike his first inauguration, Trump’s second swearing-in is marked by support from global business and political leaders.
  2. Entertainment Lineup: The blend of classic American artists and contemporary performers highlights the cultural significance of the event.
  3. Policy Priorities: Trump’s promises to secure borders, strengthen the economy, and promote fairness underscore his commitment to a transformative second term.
