As the nation eagerly awaited the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, plans for the ceremony have been hastily adjusted due to the extreme cold weather forecasted for the nation’s capital. Originally slated to take place outdoors on the steps of the Capitol, the event will now be held indoors in the Capitol rotunda to protect attendees from the frigid temperatures.
NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin reported on the rapid changes being made to accommodate the move indoors, while meteorologist Michelle Grossman provided a detailed forecast of the chilly conditions expected on Inauguration Day. With temperatures expected to plummet, organizers deemed it necessary to prioritize the safety and comfort of attendees by relocating the ceremony.
The decision to move the inauguration indoors serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather and the importance of flexibility in event planning. Despite the change in venue, the significance of the occasion remains unchanged, as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office amidst a backdrop of historic precedent.
As preparations continue for the momentous event, Americans both near and far eagerly anticipate the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States. Stay tuned for updates on the evolving plans for this historic occasion.

Wow people still watch nbc news? Amazing!
Maybe they should just cancel it.
Because it's easier to blame small crowds on the ceremony being inside.
So it's already been pre-recorded..
I attended Obama's first inauguration and it was BITTER cold. It's just an excuse to make security easier. Well, get used to the disappointments MAGA. This will be the first of many.
This is hilarious. It’s CROWD SIZE.
He’s gonna claim that one million people wanted in and they just don’t have the room.
I wont be watching this shameful event.
January 20th cannot come fast enough! Everybody, even those that initially opposed a Victory by President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration, just want it to happen. It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!).
Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather. The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!
We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.
All other events will remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, on Sunday at 3 P.M. (Doors open at 1 P.M.—Please arrive early!), and all three Inaugural Balls on Monday evening.
Everyone will be safe, everyone will be happy, and we will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Biden admin cannot protect against DRONES
Reading these comments proves why universal suffrage has been an absolute disaster.
What a coward.
Fascist and Racist is the new norm. Woke and DEI is irrelevance culture.
The Devil Loves Heat
Not the weather, safety !!!!!!!!! Too dangerous for Trump to be outdoors !
Good! He's a cold-hearted person, so there you go.
The Chinese demanded he move it inside.
Good. Im happy it will be inside.
Cold weather or safety it's the best decision.
Just like the roof that was to steep now it’s too cold…
Democrats tried to pull another J6 and got caught
Wonder how many people on here will be moving to anothet country.
Just put on extra warm clothes people and everything will be ok. Just pretend cold weather is like upper 90 degrees weather and you will get through it.
😂
THANK THE UNIVERSE FOR THIS! President Trump needs to be protected at ALL COSTS!
He afraid of the small crowd 😂
Good news

Hehehe, "because of the weather" – riiiiiight. At least he won't be embarrassed about his crowd size this time.
