The President-elect said he is moving his inauguration indoors on Monday due to the freezing weather expected in Washington, D.C.
Trump said he'll be sworn in and deliver his inauguration address inside the Capitol Rotunda.
"The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "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," Trump added. "I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In."
'Vast majority' of ticketed guests can’t attend inauguration
According to the Joint Inaugural Committee, due to this change, the "vast majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person. Those with tickets for the Presidential Platform and members of Congress will be able to attend in person."
"We strongly suggest people who are in Washington for the event attend other indoor events at indoor venues of their choice to watch the inauguration," the committee said.
This inauguration is forecast to be the coldest in 40 years.
