Every four years, we as Americans have the privilege of witnessing the inauguration of the President of the United States – a symbol of our democracy. Today, I attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America. President Trump stated his mission of bringing peace and stability to the United States by securing our southern border, restoring law and order in our cities and deterring threats from abroad. I applaud President Trump’s commitment to protecting our nation and governing with common sense. I look forward to working with President Trump and my colleagues in the Senate to work to improve the lives of Kansans and Americans and help our country flourish. Prior to the inauguration moving indoors, my office worked to provide tickets to more than 400 Kansans to attend the inauguration. While the weather led to the cancellation of the outdoor portion of the inauguration, I hope the many Kansans who traveled to Washington, D.C. were able to attend other inaugural events around D.C.
President Trump is taking his first actions of his second term in office. He signed executive actions regarding presidential appointments in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. Trump also signed a proclamation to order flags to be flown at full staff for this and all inaugurations moving forward.
