Just before noon on Monday inside the U.S. Capitol, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.
Two and a half months after his convincing election victory over Vice President Harris, the president-elect returns to office in what will symbolize his reinvention and redemption four years after being ushered out of the White House by the American electorate. His remarkable journey back to power included surviving two assassination attempts, four criminal indictments and one criminal conviction.
"We put America first, and it all starts tomorrow," Trump told thousands of supporters jam-packed into Washington, D.C.'s, Capitol One Arena at his inauguration eve rally. "We begin a brand-new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride."
Trump will call for a "revolution of common sense" during his inaugural address, according to prepared remarks shared with Fox News early Monday morning.
"I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country," Trump is expected to say. "My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization."
