Although the U.S. flag is at half-staff to mark the death of President Jimmy Carter, California will raise flags for Trump's inauguration

Democrats Gavin Newsom and Jared Polis will direct flags to fly full mast on Monday, aligning with Republican governors across the country to honor President-elect Donald Trump’s oath of office.

Gavin Newsom has directed California officials to temporarily raise the state capitol U.S. flag to full staff on inauguration day, in honor of Donald Trump. The height of U.S. flags has become a political touchpoint after the death of Jimmy Carter in December.
