WASHINGTON - Senator Deb Fischer (R) of Nebraska officially introduced Donald Trump as the new President of the United States on Monday. Fischer, who is a leader of the congressional inaugural committee, also spoke during the inauguration and introduced the invocation and benediction clergy.

“The past several years have been trying at times for many, many Americans and also for the nations of the free world that we humbly strive to lead. In November, Americans chose again to steer this nation towards greatness,” said Fischer.

Fischer also invited a University of Nebraska–Lincoln choir to participate in the Presidential Inauguration.
