(NewsNation) — After will be sworn in on MondayPresident Donald Trump will mark his first full day in office with a service at the Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday morning.
Leaders from nearly a dozen different religions are present for the service, which has been a post-inaugural tradition since former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office.
The service is meant to be a way to push past the split of election in 2024say employees, and the political bumps on the campaign trail.
That’s a message the president tried to convey at the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball Monday night when he addressed the troops.
“Your bravery inspires us. Your service unites us, and your sacrifice and spirit protect us all,” Trump said. “We love you, we respect you so much, and we have a great commitment to each and every one of you. Starting today, America will be stronger and greater than it has ever been before.”
Staff say this year’s prayer service is different from those held in the past, as it was not planned with a specific candidate in mind.
