Trump inauguration change of plans creates uncertainty for supporters
Eight years ago, then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer infamously tried to convince skeptical reporters and members of the public that President-elect Donald Trump‘s 2017 inauguration crowd was “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.”
Now, Republicans, who have been organizing themselves to demonstrate their support for Trump, are under less pressure as the president-elect’s inaugural committee makes last-minute preparations to move the swearing-in ceremony inside the U.S. Capitol, with a watch party at nearby Capital One Arena, separate from a rally there the day before.
