Traditionally, the ceremony has taken place outdoors, most commonly on the marble steps of the Capitol in Washington, DC. But with meteorologists predicting one of the coldest inauguration days in recent history, Trump decided on Friday that safety mandated the venue change.
"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don't want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way," Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump's ceremony, scheduled for Monday, will now take place beneath the Capitol Rotunda, its curved sandstone walls covered with paintings from American history.
