  • Flags have been lowered to half-staff at many federal and public buildings across the country in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died Dec. 29.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered all flags across the state to be raised to full staff in honor of former President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2021. This directive comes as a symbolic gesture to mark the occasion, despite the fact that Trump's term ended and Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on that date. The order reflects a show of respect for the office of the presidency and the peaceful transition of power, even amidst the political tensions and controversies surrounding the end of Trump's presidency. Governor Abbott's decision underscores the tradition of honoring the presidency, regardless of political affiliation, and highlights the state's acknowledgment of the significant event in American political history.
