Other events, such as inaugural balls on Monday evening, are set to proceed as planned.
A “victory rally” will be held on Sunday afternoon at Capital One Arena.
Safety Concerns
Trump emphasized the need to prioritize the safety of attendees, law enforcement, first responders, K9 units, and horses.
He urged people to dress warmly if they decide to attend in person despite the dangerous conditions.
