House Speaker Mike Johnson has ordered flags to fly full-staff at the United States Capitol for Donald Trump 's inauguration. Under U.S. law, they are supposed to be flying at half-staff after the death of former President Jimmy Carter. Newsweek reached out to Trump's inauguration team and Johnson's office via email for comment.

Speaker Johnson is suspending a 30-day mourning period for Jimmy Carter to allow flags at the Capitol to fly at full-staff at Trump's inauguration.

Gov. Greg Abbott said Texas continues to mourn Carter’s death but noted the federal flag code gives special importance to flying the flag on Inauguration Day.
