The House speaker announced Tuesday that the flags on the Hill will be raised for Trump’s inauguration and lowered again the following day to honor the death of former president Jimmy Carter.

Donald Trump had hinted he didn’t want flags at half-staff on his inauguration day. Johnson’s granted his wish, at least for the U.S. Capitol.

Trump has complained about the flags being at half-staff "for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President."

The House speaker opposes a measure that would allow new parents to vote on legislation from home for up to 12 weeks. His pitch, however, falls short.

"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump," the Louisiana Republican said in a statement. "The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter."

House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared headed for defeat before two Republicans switched their vote, delivering him a majority.

President-elect Donald J. Trump had complained that flags were scheduled to fly at half-staff — a symbol of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter — on the day of his inauguration.

There are still two weeks to go in the mourning period for former president Jimmy Carter, when American flags are directed to be flown at half-staff.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has ordered that flags at the U.S. Capitol be raised to their full height on Inauguration Day.

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.

Representative Michael R. Turner, Republican of Ohio, had at times been critical of the president-elect. He told people that he was removed after an edict from Mar-a-Lago.
