Donald Trump Inauguration 2025 Date, Schedule: At noon on January 20 – 10.30 pm in India – Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States for the second time.
The ceremony will be held inside the United States Capitol Rotunda, the circular central space below the dome of the Capitol, which was overrun four years ago by rioters seeking to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
The inauguration of the 47th President will mark a remarkable moment in American history, and one of the most extraordinary comebacks in modern politics anywhere. Trump is also only the second President in the 230-plus years of American democracy to have come to power, lost the re-election, and then returned to the White House. The other leader to have served non-consecutive presidential terms was Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President in the 1880s and 1890s.
In 2021, Trump skipped the inauguration ceremony of his successor – and now would-be predecessor – President Biden, insisting that the 2020 election had been “stolen” from him. This was the first time in 150 years that any former US President had boycotted the ceremony making the transfer of power.
