Due to the severe cold, the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected US President Donald Trump will be held in the Capitol Rotunda (Hall) inside the US Capitol instead of an open space outside the US Capitol. Trump will take the oath of office for the second term on Monday.

Ronald Reagan's swearing-in in 1985 also took place in the Capitol Rotunda

Trump said on his internet media platform Truth Social on Friday, "The temperature in Washington, DC may reach a record low. Due to the extreme cold, I have ordered the swearing-in ceremony to be held in the United States Capitol Rotunda. Ronald Reagan's swearing-in in 1985 was also held in the Capitol Rotunda.

The Capitol Rotunda is beneath the dome in the Capitol building. It is connected to corridors leading to the House of Representatives and Senate chambers. Trump said all other events, including the victory rally at Capital One Arena on Sunday afternoon, will take place as scheduled. People can watch the ceremony on screens inside Capital One Arena.

Trump will take oath with a Bible given by his mother

The swearing-in ceremony committee announced on Friday that President-elect Trump will take the oath of office using the Bible given to him by his mother. Along with this, he will also use the Lincoln Bible. Trump received this Bible on the occasion of his graduation from Sunday Church Primary School in Jamaica, New York in 1955. Along with this, the Lincoln Bible will also be used for this ceremony.

Trump used it during his first term's swearing-in ceremony

The Lincoln Bible was first used for the swearing in of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, on March 4, 1861. It has been used only three times since then.

Barack Obama used it twice, while Trump used it in his first term's swearing in. Vice President-elect JD Vance will use the family Bible that belonged to his great-grandmother.
