President-elect Trump took the stage at his rally in Washington, less than a day before he will be sworn in as president.
WASHINGTON -- The inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump will take place on Monday, Jan. 20. Trump will take the oath of office as the 47th president of the United States and JD Vance will take the oath of office as vice president.
This is Trump's second inauguration as president. The first was as the 45th president on Jan. 20, 2017.
On Sunday, he laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and held a "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington ahead of Monday's swearing-in ceremony, which has now been moved inside to the Capitol Rotunda because of frigid temperatures in the nation's capital.
ABC News' Ivan Pereira, Nadine El-Bawab, and Stacey Dec contributed to this report.
