President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be moved indoors on Monday due to dangerously cold temperatures forecast for Washington.

Details: Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance are scheduled to take the oath of office in the Capitol Rotunda.
Discussions about the venue for the inaugural parade and other festivities are still ongoing. However, Trump’s team is in talks to potentially host some of the festivities at the Capitol One arena, where Trump will hold a rally on Sunday.
Trump’s team is also in talks with the Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies about how to handle the tens of thousands of people who planned to line the National Mall to witness Trump’s inauguration.
Those decisions are still pending, sources told CNN.
Officials are concerned that the low temperatures could pose a health risk to visitors and guests.
The last president to be sworn in indoors was Ronald Reagan in 1985, when daytime temperatures dipped below -13 degrees Celsius. Reagan took the oath of office in the rotunda of the Capitol. His inaugural parade was canceled.
Trump broke with tradition by inviting some foreign leaders to his inauguration, such as Italian Prime Minister George Maloney.
The far-right Eurosceptic Nigel Farage, who heads the Reform UK party, as well as Tino Hruppala, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany, also received an invitation from Britain.
