“on January 20, 2025, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies--JCCIC--hosted the inauguration of President Donald Trump. This year, I chaired the joint committee with Senator Fischer, my counterpart on the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. I thank her and the rest of the committee members--Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson, Leader Scalise, and Leader Jeffries--for their partnership. In the first 20 days of January, the Capitol Complex was the focus of three large-scale events--the January 6 Election Certification, the lying in state of former President Jimmy Carter, and the 60th inaugural ceremonies. And after the President-elect requested the ceremonies be held indoors, our staff and partners worked around the clock to prepare the U.S. Capitol Rotunda for the ceremonies and the Capitol Visitor Center Emancipation Hall for additional guests to watch the proceedings. Today, I want to thank those who worked tirelessly to plan and execute the 60th inaugural ceremonies.”
