Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, on Monday afternoon ordered U.S. and Michigan flags throughout the state of Michigan to be raised immediately for the remainder of Inauguration Day in accordance with a presidential proclamation issued by President Donald Trump.
Whitmer’s office said on Tuesday, flags will return to half-staff through Jan. 27 to resume the 30-day period of flag honors for former President Jimmy Carter.
Many Republican governors had already raised flags to commemorate Trump’s inauguration.
