President Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. He is only the second ever to be elected to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Supreme Court Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to Trump as now-former President Joe Biden looked on in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.
Vice President JD Vance was sworn in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Trump refused to attend Biden’s inauguration four years ago after falsely claiming for weeks that he had only lost to the Democrat as a result of widespread ballot fraud in the 2020 election.
Moments before Trump was sworn in, Biden issued a blanket pardon for his brother, James Biden; James’ wife, Sara Jones Biden; his younger sister, Valerie Biden Owens; Owens’ husband, John Owens; and his other brother, Francis Biden.
