The co-owner of the Chicago Cubs has been deeply involved in national Republican politics dating to the 2016 election cycle.

"I didn't want to get out of my seat because I didn't want to lose it," said one guest at President Trump's pre-inauguration Candlelight Dinner.

Some of the inauguration parties, including a Crypto gala and a Hispanic ball, highlighted new elements of President Trump’s governing coalition.

Trump's inauguration drew several business and tech CEOs, including Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and TikTok's Shou Zi Chew.

Miriam Adelson, widow of billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who gave $5 million to Trump's first inauguration, is expected to attend the ceremonies. Last year, she created a pro-Trump PAC, funding it entirely through a $100 million donation of her personal funds.

A slate of major business titans are in the nation's capital and preparing to see Donald Trump get sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday.
