President-elect Donald Trump is set to take the Oath of Office in minutes. For this year’s inauguration, officials have announced it will be moved inside the United States Capitol Rotunda due to the cold.

Trump took the oath of office on Monday immediately after Vice President JD Vance was sworn in by Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. As Vance took the oath of office, he placed his right hand on a Bible that was held by his wife, Usha Vance, as she also held one of their three children.
