Just a few days before the formal transition of power, advisors for Donald Trump and JD Vance revealed the official portraits of the soon-to-be president and vice president.

Trump is poised to take the oath of office as the 47th president, while Vance will become the 50th vice president of the United States on Monday, which coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day—a federal holiday this year.

In recent months, Trump has been organizing his administration for his upcoming second term. Senate confirmation hearings for cabinet nominees took place this week, ensuring they receive the necessary approvals before starting their roles, and several other positions within the White House have already been filled.

Trump has announced several initiatives he plans to implement on his first day, including imposing import tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, as well as granting pardons to individuals involved in the January 6 riots. However, these actions won’t officially commence until after the inauguration festivities are concluded.

Take a look at the portraits of Trump and Vance, along with important details regarding Inauguration Day.
