Monday marks one week until Inauguration Day for 2025, which means President-elect Donald Trump will soon be sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States.
The ceremonial event is set to fall on Monday, Jan. 20 — which also falls on the federal holiday of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Flags are also set to be at half-staff on Jan. 20 as the country honors former President Jimmy Carter. Carter, 100, passed away Dec, 29. 2024.
Trump has raised more than $170 million for his upcoming inauguration, a record amount as tech executives and big donors have eagerly written large checks to help bankroll the ceremony.
The private donations collected thus far were confirmed by a person with firsthand knowledge of the fundraising who was not authorized to speak publicly. The person said Trump’s inaugural committee is expected to raise more than $200 million by the end of the effort.
That’s more than double the amount President Joe Biden raised four years ago, when he brought in nearly $62 million for his inauguration, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Donations to Trump’s first inauguration in 2016 also set a record when he brought in nearly $107 million.
But what exactly happens on Inauguration Day, and when will Trump officially take office? Here’s a breakdown.
What happens on Inauguration Day?
Inauguration Day is the day the new U.S. president is officially sworn into office.
Under provisions of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution, the new president officially takes office on Jan. 20, unless that date falls on a Sunday. In that situation, the inauguration would take place on Jan. 21.
Prior to the passage of the 20th Amendment, the new president had taken office on March 4.
For 2025, the inauguration is scheduled for its traditional date of Jan. 20. That date also falls on the federal holiday of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
When does Trump take office for 2025?
Under provisions of the 20th Amendment, the terms of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will officially end at noon Eastern Standard Time on Jan. 20, meaning that Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will officially take office at that time, whether or not they’ve had their oaths of office administered.
