However, it isn’t the first time that’s been the case.The last indoor ceremony was in 1985, when Ronald Reagan took the oath of office. That day, it was just 7 degrees by noon and wind chills ranged from -10 to -20 degrees.Some of the thousands of people expected to see Trump and Vance be sworn in will be doing so not at the National Mall, but at the Capital One Arena.The inaugural parade will be held there as well. Trump is set to attend in person after a series of obligations at the Capitol and White House.”There’s an excitement that I saw 40 years ago that I’m seeing today,” Ohio State Rep. Jean Schmidt (R) said. “There’s a lot of comparisons between President Reagan and President Trump and the fact is 40 years ago, I brought my nephew to Washington, D.C. to see Ronald Reagan get sworn in and we saw it from the office of our senator. So, now I’m back with my twin sister and we’re going to be viewing the swearing in in some room in this hotel.”Schmidt represents Ohio’s 62nd District, which includes Milford and Goshen.Of those thousands of people in Washington, D.C. to witness Monday’s events, many of them are from Ohio who traveled to see a fellow Buckeye be sworn in.”I just want to be here to celebrate. If I have to be here in my hotel room by myself, in D.C., just to know that I’m here as a part of history is enough for me,” John Capannari, who flew into Washington from Cincinnati, said. “I’m just over the moon with what’s going on in our country.”We’ve been invited to a watch party, we’ve been invited to some congressional things,” said Laura Strietmann, a Cincinnati Trump supporter. “I’m blessed that we do what we do, so we do know people who have invited us to bigger things.”Notable Ohioans on hand Monday include former congressman Brad Wenstrup, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, Mason Councilman Scott Gibson as well as Gov. Mike DeWine and his selection to fill Vance’s seat in the Senate, Jon Husted.”An upbeat view of what this country can be moving in the next four years,” Yost told WLWT about what he expects to hear from Trump after he’s sworn-in. “And I think he’s going to be very realistic and unvarnished about the challenges we’re going to face.””Usually, the president talks about unity, and I do hope we hear that message and I hope we talk about it in a way where every voice is heard,” Wenstrup added.The inauguration ceremony should begin around 11:30 a.m., with the swearing-in happening roughly around noon.
