Newsom Orders Flags Raised for Trump Inauguration
California Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered U.S. and state flags at the State Capitol to be raised to full-staff on January 20, 2025, to honor President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. This action aligns with several Republican-led states, despite flags being at half-staff in memory of former President Jimmy Carter. The decision reflects a customary recognition of presidential transitions, amidst varying political interpretations.
