Watch as President Donald Trump delivers his 2025 inaugural address in the US Capitol Rotunda.
President-elect Donald Trump was sworn in as the nation's 47th president on Monday, promising to end America's decline and “completely and totally reverse” the actions of now-former President Joe Biden, who defeated him four years ago.
The day started with a church service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square and included tea with Joe and Jill Biden and a ride over to the Capitol with the 46th president, where Trump took the oath of office.
