The two Midwestern senators who wanted to brave the inaugural cold

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : After the swearing-in concludes, the Bidens will fly away on a military helicopter, leaving Trump to tend to his festivities, beginning with a luncheon with congressional leaders and other dignitaries in Statuary Hall.
61% : On Monday, the Bidens will welcome Donald and Melania Trump back to the White House.
49% : By 3 p.m. Friday, dozens of workers had gathered inside the powerful central room of the Capitol, to assemble a smaller platform just a few feet off the ground, where Trump will get sworn in by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. It will lack much of the grandeur of a normal inauguration, but it will look more formal than when hundreds of dignitaries crammed 40 years ago around Reagan in the Rotunda like a crowd milling about the cocktail hour of a wedding reception.
43% : And after his supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021, Trump refused to accept defeat or attend the inauguration.
41% : Ultimately, Trump made the decision for the senators and asked for an indoor ceremony.
34% : The president is Trump," she said, trying to imitate a hard-edged conservative voice.
15% : She won in November by almost 16 percentage points over a conspiracy theory-embracing Republican, while Harris defeated Trump by less than five points in Minnesota.
