As the nation prepares for the inauguration of President-elect Trump, governors across various states are issuing orders regarding flag displays. Louisiana Governor Landry has declared that both American and MAGA flags will be flown at full-staff, while other states such as Oregon and New Jersey plan to keep their flags at half-staff in honor of former President Carter. Notably, Texas Governor Abbott is also breaking from federal guidelines by ordering flags to full-staff despite a mourning period for Carter. Meanwhile, governors in Washington, Ohio, South Carolina, and Alabama have ordered flags to be raised to full-staff, showing a stark divide in how states are responding to the inauguration. As public sentiments and political alliances play out, the flag protocols serve as a reflection of the current political climate in America.
