President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony is expected to be held indoors due to dangerously cold temperatures.
The last time this happened was in 1985, when Ronald Reagan was sworn in indoors.
President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is expected to be held indoors on Monday due to dangerously high temperatures expected in the nation's capital, people with direct knowledge of the plans told CNN.
Plans are underway for Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance to be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda, sources said. Discussions are still underway about where the inaugural parade and other celebrations will be held. But Trump's team is discussing the possibility of holding some celebrations at Capital One Arena, where Trump is scheduled to host a rally on Sunday.

Officials are concerned that the low temperatures pose a health risk to attendees and guests.
The last president to take the oath indoors was Ronald Reagan in 1985, when daytime temperatures dropped to 7 degrees and the windchill was -25 degrees. President Reagan took the oath of office inside the Capitol Rotunda. His inaugural parade was canceled.
Donald Trump issued a statement on this.
It doesn't help that January 20th comes early. Everyone wants that to happen, including those who initially opposed the victory by President Donald J. Trump and his administration. It is my duty to protect the people of our country, but before we begin, I must think about the inauguration itself. Weather forecasts for Washington, D.C., predict that temperatures could reach record lows due in part to wind chill. An arctic explosion is sweeping the country. I don't like to see people hurt or hurt in any way. It's a dangerous situation for tens of thousands of law enforcement, first responders, police K9s, even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters who will be outside for hours on the 20th (who decided to come anyway). Please dress warmly! ).
Therefore, in addition to prayers and other speeches, I have ordered that the inaugural address be delivered in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol, as used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also due to very cold weather. Various dignitaries and guests are brought to the Capitol. This will be a great experience for everyone, especially for the large television audience.
Capital One Arena will open on Monday to watch this historic event live and host the Presidential Parade. After being sworn in, I join the crowd at Capital One.
All other events remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena on Sunday at 3 p.m. (doors open at 1 p.m., get there early!) and three inaugural balls on Monday night .
Everyone will be safe, everyone will be happy, and together we will make America great again.
