Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th U.S. President on Monday in an indoor ceremony in the Capitol rotunda, eight years after the start of his first term.
Victories in the popular vote and electoral college last November marked Trump’s historic comeback after his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. Although he did not win the historically blue Empire State, many New Yorkers tuned in on Monday to see the U.S. presidency change hands from Joe Biden to Trump in front of a worldwide audience.
