Here's what will happen on Inauguration Day 2024 and why it's so important to the democratic process.
On January 20, 2025, officials will swear in the next U.S. president, following the results of the 2024 presidential election.
The 20th Amendment establishes this date, which means that a new presidential term begins on January 20 every four years. Inauguration Day marks a pivotal moment in American democracy, formalizing the transfer of executive power. If January 20 falls on a Sunday, they typically move the public ceremony to January 21, with the president-elect taking the oath of office in private on the 20th.
