A meeting with history. This Monday, January 20, the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, will once again be inaugurated as head of the country, eight years after the start of his first term. At what time and on which channel to watch this ceremony? We take stock of the program.
Before the start of the festivities, in the morning, Donald Trump and his vice-president JD Vance will be received at the White House by Joe Biden for tea, before heading together to the Capitol. The official ceremony must then begin around 11:30 a.m. local time, or 5:30 p.m. in Paris. Around 6 p.m., Donald Trump will take the oath again, before giving a speech.

The inauguration of Donald Trump’s first term was a major television event in January 2017, with 30.6 million viewers behind their screens in the United States.
A ceremony less well attended than the 33.8 million viewers who watched Joe Biden’s coming to power in 2021. Furthermore, only the first inaugurations of Presidents Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan exceeded Joe Biden’s television audience, according to Nielsen data. More popular than ever, could Donald Trump explode the scores this time?
