2:28Now PlayingSen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., delivered remarks Monday at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
Fischer noted that Trump’s inauguration marks the country’s 60th ceremony, calling it a “celebration” of Americans’ right to democracy.
“In November, Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness -- the secure, safe and prosperous future that our founders envisioned for all of us,” Fischer said. “Today we celebrate not only their decision to do so, but also the simple right and wisdom of a free people to make their own choice so that their nation might endure.”
The inauguration ceremony, including the swearings-in, is taking place indoors this year, a last-minute change to the pomp and circumstance due to extreme cold forecasted for the nation’s capital.
When Trump returns to the White House on Monday, he’s expected to act quickly on his campaign promises and roll back his predecessor’s policies. As his second term begins, his party controls both chambers of Congress and conservative justices have a majority on the Supreme Court. Trump is only the second president to return to office in non-consecutive terms, the only president convicted of a felony and the oldest person to win election to the White House.
