Trump’s presidential inauguration happened on Monday, January 20, 2025. The inauguration saw the Republican sworn in as the 47th president of the U.S. In 2017, Pelosi attended Trump’s inauguration, serving as the leader of House Democrats throughout his first administration.

During her term as the House Speaker, Pelosi was one of Trump’s most vehement critics, overseeing two impeachment attempts against him. While her spokesperson informed her of her intention to miss the president-elect’s second inauguration, no explanation was given.

However, Pelosi’s absence did not come as a total surprise, as she injured her hip during a trip to Luxembourg in December 2024. According to further reports, Pelosi’s injury had required hip replacement surgery before she could return to the United States.

Earlier in December 2024, when the new Congress met at the Capitol, Pelosi was spotted using a walker. Pelosi has always been outspoken in her criticism of Trump, even prior to her resignation following the midterm elections in 2022. Consequently, during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Pelosi was targeted by rioters during the unrest allegedly led by Trump supporters.

Will Donald Trump Have an Inauguration in 2025?

Following his victory on November 5, 2024, in the general election, Trump was sworn into office on Monday, January 20, 2025. Capping off a surprising return following his defeat in the 2020 election, Trump was sworn in as president of the United States for a second term.

The inauguration marks the transfer of presidential authority from Biden to Trump, symbolizing the change in the executive branch. The inaugural celebrations for the president-elect and vice president-elect are typically organized and planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Celebrations. 

The inaugural celebrations consist of eight events, which end in the presidential parade. The 2025 Joint Congressional Committee is headed by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota. The inauguration was marked by its main event, the swearing-in, in which Trump recited the oath of office.

The oath, which comes from Article II in Section I of the US Constitution, is recited while placing a hand over a book of spiritual or political importance.

When Is Donald Trump’s 2025 Inauguration Date?

Donald Trump’s inauguration happened on January 20, 2025, at 12 p.m. Eastern Time (17:00 GMT). However, while Trump’s swearing-in and oath-taking happened at 12 p.m. ET, the inaugural event began at 11:30 a.m. ET.

The event was originally scheduled to take place on the West Front of the United States Capitol. However, given the weather forecast in Washington on Monday, January 20, 2025, Trump had opted to shift it indoors to the Capitol Rotunda.

With the freezing conditions compelling Trump to reconsider the choice of venue, the number of guests was limited. Prior to the change of venue, nearly 250,000 people had purchased tickets to the original outdoor event. Trump invited the public to watch a live stream of the Capitol One Arena event to compensate his supporters.

Who Is on Trump’s Inauguration Guest List?

Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, January 20, 2025, attracted politicians and bureaucrats. Among the guests are four living presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. The outgoing Vice President and the Democratic Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, also attended the event.

Prior to the change, the tech CEOs were scheduled to sit on the inaugural dais with officials and Cabinet candidates. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Argentine President Javier Milei also attended the inauguration alongside other foreign dignitaries.

Additionally, China’s vice president, Han Zheng, also attended on behalf of President Xi Jinping, whom Trump invited. No foreign leader has ever been present at a transfer-of-power ceremony, according to State Department archives going back to 1874.

Among the inauguration performers are singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood, country music artist Carrie Underwood, and opera singer Christopher Macchio. The United States Marine Band and University of Nebraska-Lincoln choirs also provided musical accompaniment. 

When Will Trump Take Office?

According to the 20th Amendment, a president’s four-year tenure ends at 12:00 on January 20, with his successor taking office immediately after. In accordance with the constitution, Trump has taken over as president on January 20, 2025, at 12 pm E.T.
