The prayer breakfast, a non-governmental and non-political gathering, heralds Trump’s inauguration in Washington, DC on January 20.

He added, “The Presidential Prayer Breakfast is a non-official and non-governmental event. It is a faith-based platform where intercessory prayers and worship are offered to God on behalf of the office of the president and the government of the nation. This event is held once every four years, preceding the inauguration ceremony, as a breakfast prayer meeting ahead of every new administration.”
