Washington — President Trump took office Monday in a full-day affair that included the swearing-in ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda, his inaugural address, a Senate luncheon and an event at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington in lieu of a parade.
The inauguration is normally held outside the Capitol, but was moved indoors due to the freezing cold temperatures in Washington.
Former President Joe Biden officially transferred power to Mr. Trump at noon on Jan. 20, 2025, and left via helicopter after Mr Trump was sworn in.
Here are some photos as a new day started in Washington:
