Trump sworn in as 47th President


Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, marking a significant political comeback following felony convictions. 

His vice president, JD Vance, was sworn in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. 


In his inauguration address, Trump calls for a “revolution of common sense,” according
 to an excerpt of prepared remarks. He is expected to sign a slew of executive actions, including kicking off a process to end birthright citizenship and declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border, according to incoming White House officials. 

Trump also plans to pardon some January 6 rioters on Day 1, sources tell CNN.


The guest list includes political leaders, former presidents and influential billionaires, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.


Hours before the change in US leadership, President Joe Biden issued pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating January 6. 

Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful.”


He also issued preemptive pardons for his brothers, James and Frank, his sister Valerie and their spouses.
