Mike Johnson orders flags at full-staff for Trump inauguration despite Jimmy Carter mourning period

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.

Johnson issued the order Tuesday, noting flags will be at full-staff “to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump.”
