The second inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, on the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The event will be the 60th presidential inauguration. It will mark the commencement of the second and final (as per the 22nd Amendment) term of Donald Trump as president, and the term of JD Vance as the 50th vice president. The preceding ceremony for the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021 was largely curtailed due to extraordinary political, public health, economic, and national security crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and January 6 Capitol attack.

Planning

Construction of the 2021 inaugural platform at the United States Capitol began in September 2020.

Joint Congressional Committee

In May 2024, both houses of Congress appointed a Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to oversee construction of the platform and other temporary structures that will be necessary for the ceremonies and celebrations.[1]

Construction of the inaugural platform began in September 2024.[2]

Security and operations

Agencies expected to be involved with planning of the ceremony include the U.S. Capitol Police, the Washington, D.C., metropolitan police, and the U.S. Park Police.[3] Twenty-four states offered National Guard support for the electoral vote certification and inaugural ceremonies.[4]
