As America’s 47thand 45thPresident Donald J. Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, his supporters spread across D.C., even as the inauguration ceremony itself was moved inside the Capitol due to freezing weather. The Voice captured scenes from outside of Capital One Arena, where Trump supporters gathered for an inauguration watch party, as well as from Georgetown and the National Mall.
