President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to move his inaugural ceremonies indoors has left congressional staff and lawmakers out in the cold, with confusion over how to accommodate the thousands of constituents who traveled across the country for the historic event.
Trump announced on Friday that he directed his inauguration, which has taken place outside the Capitol for more than 100 years, would be moved inside to the Capitol Rotunda due to dangerously cold weather expected to hit on Monday.
This took many lawmakers and their aides by surprise, with several sources telling the Washington Examiner that prior notice was not given to offices — especially as many planned to continue doling out tickets to constituents Friday and over the weekend.
