Speaker Mike Johnson announced that American flags will fly full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday after all, “to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President,” Politico reports.
“President Joe Biden ordered that flags be lowered to half-staff for 30 days after former President Jimmy Carter died last month, in keeping with tradition following the death of the president. They will return to half-staff the day after the inauguration.”
New York Times: “The move came after Mr. Trump complained that flags were scheduled to be at half-staff during his inaugural ceremony.”
