This will not be the first time an inauguration was not held on the Capitol steps.

The Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump has been moved indoors due to extreme cold weather.

โ€œIt is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself,โ€ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Jan. 17.

โ€œI donโ€™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,โ€ he added.

โ€œThe 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!โ€ Trump also wrote.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which organizes the Inauguration and events surrounding it, said in a statement that it moved the swearing-in in accordance with Trumpโ€™s wishes.

โ€œThe Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies will honor the request of the President-elect and his Presidential Inaugural Committee to move the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies inside the U.S. Capitol to the Rotunda,โ€ they said.

It was scheduled to be held on the steps of the U.S. Capitol as is tradition. But it is forecasted to be 25 degrees Fahrenheit in Washington that day, according to AccuWeather.

Instead, Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda, which connects the Senate and House and consists of paintings of moments in U.S. history. It is also where prominent figures lie in state and honor.

The parade, traditionally down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, will instead be at Capitol One Arena, home of the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals. The arena will also be used for people to watch the swearing-in. Trump is scheduled to hold a rally there on Jan. 19.

There will be no change to the other events, such as the inaugural balls, and therefore, they will proceed as planned, Trump said.
