Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that flags at the U.S. Capitol will fly at full-staff during President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration next week.
"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump," the Louisiana Republican said in a statement. "The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter."
Following U.S. flag code, President Biden ordered flags to be lowered through the end of January out of respect for former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100. The code says the U.S. flag should be flown at half-staff for 30 days from the death of a president or former president at all federal government buildings and grounds, including U.S. embassies and military facilities abroad.
