Moving from one house to another is a difficult process. It is even more difficult for workers at the White House on Inauguration Day. On Wednesday at 12 p.m., Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Workers will then have about five hours to get the house ready for the new president and his family. The moving process would normally start when the outgoing president and incoming president leave the White House together and go to the U.S. Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony. Matt Costello, an historian at the White House Historical Association, says that moving trucks wait outside the White House until the two leaders have left. As soon as the president and president-elect leave, they wave in the moving trucks, and they’ll pack up the outgoing president’s things, and then they’ll unpack all of the new first family’s things, Costello said. But this year is anything but normal. President Donald Trump has said that he will not attend Biden’s inauguration. That means the two will not be going to the Capitol together. However, by 12:01 p.m., all of Trump’s belongings will have to follow him out of the White House to his private home in Florida. And trucks loaded with Biden’s belongings can enter the grounds.
Title: Inauguration Day Is also Moving Day at the White House
