Donald Trump has taken the oath of office, administered by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, with Trump’s wife, Melania, by his side.
The moment triggers cheers inside the Capitol Rotunda and the ceremonial firing of cannons outside.
Thefrontrank reports that at 78, Trump is only the second president in American history to serve non-consecutive terms and the first felon to hold the most powerful political office in the world.
The oath was administered by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who congratulated him at the end.
Vance, 40, has become the third-youngest person to hold the vice-president’s office. He was sworn in minutes before Trump and just two years after becoming an Ohio senator.
He first rose to national prominence with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, a bestseller-turned-Hollywood-film that recounts his working-class childhood in the American Midwest.
