On November 5, 2024, facing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Donald Trump won the American presidential election and was elected 47th President of the United States. However, it is only today that his inauguration takes place at the Capitol. For the occasion, his wife Mélania accompanies him throughout the day with a special accessory.
This is the second “D-Day” for the Republican candidate after his first term from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021. Before officially becoming the new President of the United States, the 78-year-old businessman went, in the afternoon, to St. John’s Church for a mass.
As noted by our colleagues from BFMTV, it is a tradition for every elected president since James Madison. Then, before going to the Capitol to attend the ceremony officially marking the transition of power between the outgoing president and the incoming president, Donald Trump went to the White House for the traditional “tea time” with Joe and Jill Biden .
Donald Trump will be sworn in for the second time
The investiture ceremony, for its part, started from 4 p.m. with many guests. The President of the Italian Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni, the Hungarian President Viktor Orban, or even the duo of the Reconquest! Éric Zemmour and Sarah Knafo are also among the guests.
It was at 4:49 p.m. that Donald Trump, accompanied by his wife Mélanie and Joe Biden, arrived at the Capitol. In the next few hours, he will officially become president of the United States for the second time. But before that, he will have to take the oath shortly before 6 p.m. in the Capitol rotunda.
Melania Trump causes a sensation
Once he places his hand on the Bible and takes the oath of office, the 47th president of the United States will deliver a speech before country singer Carrie Underwood performs a cover ofAmerica the Beautiful.
-Although it is Donald Trump “day”, his partner Mélania reacts strongly on social networks and in particular for its atypical look. Notably his elegant hat which allows him to completely hide his eyes.
“Raise your hand if you think Melania Trump looks absolutely stunning for her inauguration today“, “It’s the Melania Trump show, and we’re all here to watch”, “Oh my God, Melania Trump’s inauguration outfit”notably commented on a number of Internet users visibly won over by the style displayed by the future First Lady.
