During a recent event at the US Capitol’s Emancipation Hall, newly sworn-in Vice President JD Vance introduced President Donald Trump and commended his inaugural speech as 'a hell of a way to start the next four years.' Vance expressed his satisfaction with the President's unreserved address, stating, 'I hoped to myself he wouldn’t hold back, and sir, you didn’t hold back.'
Vance also highlighted the last-minute decision to move the event indoors due to dangerously cold temperatures in the District of Columbia. He humorously remarked on the frigid conditions outside, noting, 'Thank God we moved that thing indoors because it was a beautiful ceremony, and it was cold as hell outside.'
The event, which was initially planned to take place on the National Mall, was relocated indoors to ensure the safety and comfort of the attendees. Despite the unexpected change in venue, the ceremony proceeded smoothly, with Vance's introduction setting a positive tone for the proceedings.
