United States. Trump will use the same Bible as Abraham Lincoln while taking the oath of office, CNN reported.
Ahead of the swearing in ceremony, Tenor Christopher Macchio performed “Oh, America” in the Capitol Rotunda, CNN reported. Donald Trump arrived at the USÂ Capitol together with outgoing US President Joe Biden, following pre-inauguration tea at the White House.
Biden told his successor “Welcome Home” when he greeted Trump at the White House for the traditional tea ceremony. Biden has also left a letter in the Oval Office for Trump, CNN reported.
After the swearing-in, President Trump will take part in the signing ceremony in the President’s Room, a tradition that began in 1981 with President Ronald Reagan. This event marks one of the first official actions of the newly sworn president, where he signs nominations and various memorandums or proclamations.
