A Democratic lawmaker warned people who bought hotel rooms and flights ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration to get their money back as "most tickets will only be souvenirs" at this point.
A polar vortex is descending on the nation's capital, which is set to send temperatures plunging into single digits Sunday into Monday. In response, Trump said Friday that his inauguration on Monday will be moved indoors due to expected frigid weather.
"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country," Trump wrote on his app Truth Social. "Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda."

The massive change means Trump will not stand on the Capitol steps overlooking the National Mall, which typically hosts a large crowd.
Taking to X on Friday afternoon, Rep. Jasmine Crocket (D-TX) warned attendees — most of which ostensibly are from the other side of the political spectrum — to consider requesting refunds now.
"My PSA … formal info will be on my official page, but let me offer some advice to those planning to attend inauguration," she began. "If you can cancel your room and/or flight, you probably should. It doesn’t seem like many people will be allowed into the Capitol to see the ceremony."
Crocket added: "We’ve been told that most tickets will only be souvenirs. I’d advise all intended attendees to call the office that you received tickets from to inquire as to if your ticket will possibly grant you admission."
