House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ordered that U.S. flags be flown at full-staff on Inauguration Day, issuing a brief pause to President Joe Biden’s order to display flags at half-staff in commemoration of the late President Jimmy Carter.

Mike Johnson said he is going to order that the Capitol's flags, which are at half-staff due to the death of Jimmy Carter, be raised for Donald Trump's inauguration.

Several states that confirmed that flags will be raised on Inauguration Day, despite the mourning period following former President Jimmy Carter's death. After a former president dies, federal flag code dictates that flags should be flown at half-staff for 30 days out of respect.
