Trump’s Yuge Inauguration Stage Leaves Lawmakers in the Cold

President-elect Donald Trump, known for favoring grandeur, has requested a larger stage for his indoor inauguration ceremony on Monday, disrupting months of planning. Originally set up in the Capitol Rotunda due to an anticipated polar vortex, Trump’s demand for a more visually appealing stage reduced seating and pushed many lawmakers and VIPs to view the event from an overflow area in Emancipation Hall, reported The DailyBeast.com

Tensions arose as Trump’s team clashed with Democrats on the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, chaired by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, with Republicans leveraging threats to relocate events to the White House. The new stage, though aesthetically enhanced, limits space for close attendees, echoing the last indoor inauguration in 1985 for President Reagan.4oOChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.
