A spokesperson for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies said the committee was honoring Trumps request to move the ceremonies inside. The National Special Security Event D.C. Joint Information Center said the Secret Service is working with its partners "to adapt our security plans as needed."
"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."
Due to this change, the "vast majority of ticketed guests will not be able to attend the ceremonies in person," according to the Joint Inaugural Committee. "Those with tickets for the Presidential Platform and members of Congress will be able to attend in person."
