The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States is scheduled to take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, on the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The event will be Trump's second inauguration to the presidency and the 60th U.S. presidential inauguration. It will mark the commencement of Trump's second, non-consecutive term as U.S. president, the term of JD Vance as the 50th vice president, and the only second non-consecutive re-inauguration for a U.S. president after the second inauguration of Grover Cleveland in 1893.[1]

The preceding ceremony (for the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021) was largely curtailed due to extraordinary political, public health, economic, and national security crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump, the president at the time, did not attend the 2021 inauguration.

At 78 years, 220 days of age on Inauguration Day, Trump will be the oldest person to assume the presidency.

In the United States the inauguration will take place at the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which will mark the third time an inauguration has taken place on the same date as the holiday.[2]
