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.

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.

Flags around the country are currently being flown at half-staff to honor former President Jimmy Carter who died in December.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday ordered U.S. and state flags across Florida to be flown at full-staff on inauguration day Monday, becoming the latest Republican-led state to do so.
