Xin chuyển đến Quý Vị bản tin cập nhật mới nhất liên quan đến buổi lễ..
Xin mời Quý Vị theo dõi đễ tường ..
Trân trọng..
** Vì thời tiết khắc nghiệt (dự báo thời tiết trong sáng, nhưng lạnh có thể dưới 25 độ F) thế nên Buổi Lễ Tuyên Thệ Nhậm Chức của TT Trump, được dời vào bên trong tòa nhà Quốc Hội (Capitol Rotunda ) thay vì ngoài trời. Đồng thời đấu trường Capitol One Arena cũng sẽ được mở cửa, cho dân chúng được vào bên trong, để xem buổi lễ qua màn hình lớn, trưc tiếp truyền hình buổi lễ ( thay vì xem ngoài trời tại Lincoln Memorial) . Sức chứa của Capitol One Arena (sân nhà của hai đội cầu Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals) vào khoảng 20 ngàn khán giả. Dự trù số lượng dân chúng về D.C trong dịp này , có thể lên đến vài trăm ngàn người,
Do đó Cô Trà My của VOA cũng sẽ đổi địa điểm tường thuật và phỏng vấn từ Lincoln Memorial đến Capitol One Arena. Thời gian vẫn nhữ cũ từ 9 giờ sáng cho đến 12 giờ trưa.
Chu vi của Capitol One Arena rất rộng, và chưa biết rõ hàng rào an ninh của cảnh sát sẽ cho phép khoảng tiếp xúc gần nhất ở khu vực nào, nếu như không được vào bên trong.
Hy vọng mọi chi tiết rõ ràng chậm nhất vào ngày Chủ Nhật , để Cô Trà My có điểm hẹn cụ thể, để gặp gỡ với những Đồng Hương Việt sẵn lòng chia xẻ cảm nghĩ với VOA trong ngày lễ trọng đại, đáng ghi nhớ này.
****************************************************Trump Inauguration Moved Indoors Due to Freezing Conditions
This will not be the first time an inauguration was not held on the Capitol steps.

The Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump has been moved indoors due to extreme cold weather.
The event was scheduled to be held on the steps of the U.S. Capitol as is tradition. But it is forecasted to be 25 degrees Fahrenheit in Washington that day as Arctic winds hits the East Coast.
Instead, Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda, which connects the Senate and House and consists of paintings of moments in U.S. history.
“The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Jan. 17.

“I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th,” he added.
Outgoing President Joe Biden, members of Congress and some other dignitaries and notable guests will be able to view the ceremony from inside the Capitol Rotunda. But even if they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder packing the Rotunda as in 1985, many will be forced to watch the swearing-in from elsewhere.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which organizes the Inauguration and events surrounding it, said in a statement that it moved the swearing-in in accordance with Trump’s wishes.
This would not be the first time an inauguration was held at a location other than the Capitol steps.
In 1985, President Ronald Reagan held his swearing-in at the White House and Rotunda due to cold temperatures. There was no parade. In 1963, President Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office on Air Force One after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The parade, traditionally down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House, will instead be at Capitol One Arena, home of the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals. The arena will also be used for people to watch the swearing-in. Trump is scheduled to hold a rally there on Jan. 19.
There will be no change to the other events, such as the inaugural balls, and therefore, they will proceed as planned, Trump said.
The balls are the Commander in Chief Ball, the Liberty Inaugural Ball, and the Starlight Ball.
On Jan. 18, there will be receptions, fireworks, and a dinner hosted by Vance at Trump’s golf club in Sterling, Virginia.
The following day, ahead of the rally, Trump will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, where members of the military are buried. Following the rally, he will host a candlelight dinner.
On Inauguration Day, before the swearing-in ceremony, Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, will have tea with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden after a church service.
Earlier Friday, Trump’s inaugural committee announced that, like his first inauguration, Trump would take the oath of office on a family Bible given to him by his mother as well as the Bible used by President Abraham Lincoln at his first inauguration in 1861. Vice President-elect JD Vance will be sworn in on a family Bible given to him by his maternal great-grandmother.

Everything you need to know about Inauguration Day in DC
January 13, 2025, 5:20 PM
D.C. is gearing up for one of its most pompous and time-honored traditions. Monday is Inauguration Day, but its effects will be felt this weekend and for the days following the ceremony.
Several events are planned around the inauguration, such as rallies and balls, there will be numerous road closures, and museums and other destinations are shutting down.
At noon on Jan. 20, the ceremony to swear in Donald Trump as the nation’s 47th president will begin in front of the U.S. Capitol.
Here’s everything you need to know.
- Q: How can I see the swearing-in ceremony?
- There’s a limited number of tickets available through members of Congress. Tickets are free and allow you to watch in person on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. For a ticket, contact your local elected officials. You do not need a ticket to view the inauguration from a viewing area on the National Mall.
- Q: What about the inaugural parade?
- You do not need tickets to view the parade from the sidewalk. However, the Presidential Inaugural Committee does make a limited number of bleacher seats available. The parade starts at the Capitol and proceeds up Pennsylvania Avenue NW toward the White House.
- Q: Will things still be open on Inauguration Day?
- A number of popular destinations near the Capitol will be closed for security reasons for the inauguration. All the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall will be closed, along with the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, its Renwick Gallery and the National Postal Museum. The National Zoo, however, will remain open. Other places near the Capitol, such as the Library of Congress, will also be closed, so check and confirm a facility’s operating status before visiting.
- Q: What roads will be closed for the inauguration?
- Police have announced a slew of road closures and parking restrictions, many of which will be in place for multiple days. The closures center around Constitution Avenue and the Capitol complex, but be sure to check out the full list of closures here before driving downtown.
- Q: Who’s performing at the inauguration?
- Country artist Carrie Underwood is the headline singer at the inauguration, and will perform “America the Beautiful” during the ceremony. Other performers include groups such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Combined Choirs, the U.S. Marine Band, the Armed Forces Chorus and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club.
- Q: Can I take the Metro to the inauguration?
- You can, and should, use public transportation to get to the inauguration, due to aforementioned closures and expected heavy traffic. Metrorail will open early on Monday, at 4 a.m., to accommodate crowds. Metro also said it will run additional trains.
However, five stations will be closed from Sunday at 8 p.m. to Tuesday at 5 a.m. for security reasons. The closed stations are McPherson Square, Federal Triangle, Smithsonian, Mt. Vernon Sq.-Convention Center and Archives-Navy Memorial.
- Q: Will there be any protests?
- The People’s March is planned for the Saturday before the inauguration. It’s scheduled to start at 10 a.m. and begins near the Washington Monument. Find more information on the march’s website.
On Inauguration Day, which also happens to be Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Rev. Al Sharpton will lead a march from McPherson Square to Metropolitan AME Church, followed by a rally. The event is hosted by the National Action Network.
- Q: What other inauguration-related events are taking place?
- The day before the inauguration, President-elect Trump is hosting a rally at Capitol One Arena in Downtown D.C. Tickets are free and available on the Inaugural Planning Committee’s website.
There are also a series of balls the night of the inauguration. Trump’s inaugural committee has announced three official inaugural balls — the Commander in Chief Ball, Liberty Inaugural Ball and Starlight Ball — all of which Trump will deliver remarks at. Traditionally, there are also numerous unofficial inaugural balls.
- Q: What can I bring with me to the Capitol grounds?
- The list of items prohibited on the Capitol grounds during the inauguration is long, and includes items such as alcohol, any bags larger than 12-by-12-by-5 inches, balls, camera cases, seat cushions, strollers and umbrellas.
Find the full list of banned items on the U.S. Capitol Police website.
