() After being sworn in on Monday, President Donald Trump will mark his first full day in office with a prayer service at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday morning.

Leaders from nearly a dozen different religions will be on hand for the service, which has been a post-inaugural tradition since former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office.

The service is meant to be a way to push past the divisiveness of the 2024 election, staffers say, and the political jabs on the campaign trail.

It’s a message the president tried to convey at the Commander in Chief Ball on Monday evening when speaking to the troops.

“Your bravery inspires us. Your service unites us, and your sacrifice and spirit protect us all,” Trump said. “We love you, we respect you so much, and we have a big commitment to each and every one of you. Starting today, America will be stronger and greater than it’s ever been before.”

Staffers say this year’s prayer service is different from ones held in the past, as it was not planned with a particular candidate in mind.
