President-elect Donald Trump is set to lay out his vision for the next four years during Monday’s inaugural address in Washington, D.C.

Political analysts say they expect to hear a speech similar to his in 2016.

"Donald Trump gave a rather unique inaugural speech that struck a much more aggressive tone,” said Mike Dawidziak. “But we'll see. Donald Trump is nothing if not unpredictable."

Former Republican congressman Pete King is in D.C. for the event. He says he is hopeful that Trump’s term in office will bring a sense of unity to the United States.

"I was here eight years ago and there's so much unity now. The country is either supporting Donald Trump or accepting him. It's going to give him the chance to be a very effective president,” he said.

The ceremony will also be held indoors for the first time since 1985 due to cold weather.
