"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump," Johnson said in a statement. "The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter.”

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson granted President-elect Trump's request to suspend a 30-day mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter in order to fly flags at full staff during the inauguration.

Utah joins a growing number of Republican-led states to raise American flags to full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week amid a monthlong period of mourning for the death of late Democratic President Jimmy Carter.
