Hochul orders flags to be flown at Trump’s inauguration despite the current mourning period for Jimmy Carter.

The Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, from the Democratic Alliance, ordered that the country’s flags fly at full flow on Monday when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated as the nation is still in a period of mourning to honor former President Jimmy Carter.

“Tomorrow, we are all Americans as we observe the ancient traditions of Inauguration Day,” Hochul said in a statement to the New York Post on Sunday.

“For that reason, I am directing flags to fly at full staff throughout New York State on January 20th and return to half-staff to honor the late President Carter on January 21st,” he added. “Regardless of political views, America’s tradition of peaceful transitions of power is something to be celebrated.”

The governor’s order comes in the wake of President Biden’s order that flags at all government and public buildings and social media across the country fly at half-staff for a 30-day mourning period after Carter’s death on Dec. 29, 2024, including the Inauguration Day.

Biden said the American flag “should be flown at half-staff in the White House and in all public buildings and grounds, on all military bases and military stations, and on all ships of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and in all waters.” The United States and its Territories and Possessions.”

It is customary when the former president dies to mourn for 30 days and flags are placed in front of the workers.

Hochul joins three Democratic governors – California Gov. Gavin NewsomColorado Gov. Jared Polis and Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson – ordered flags to fly at full-mast during Trump’s inauguration before the end of the mourning period on Jan. 28.

Many Republican governors also ordered flags to be flown at half-mast on Monday, including Idaho Gov. Brad Little, North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.

About 30 states will raise their flags on Monday for Trump’s inauguration, as will flags at the US Capitol following an order from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Trump had publicly discussed the idea that the flags could be brought out by staff to be anointed after Carter’s death.

“Democrats are ‘full of bitterness’ about our beautiful American flag possibly being ‘half-staffed’ at my inauguration,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Jan. 3. “They think it’s great, and they’re happy about it because, really, they don’t love our Country, they only care about themselves.”

“Look what they’ve done to our once GREAT America in the last four years – It’s a complete mess! In any case, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time during the inauguration of a future President, be at an end,” he continued. “Nobody wants to see this, and nobody an American would be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. DO AMERICA AGAIN!”

The flags were flown among the staff when former President Nixon was sworn in for his second term in 1973 after Nixon ordered the flags lowered following the death of former President Truman.
