At roughly 7:55 pm the president left the event and reappeared at 7:59 pm at the podium. He proceeded to deliver the Oath of Enlistment to a group of soldiers, who are now standing in front of the stage. He told them to “have a great life” afterward.
He walked away from the podium at 8:01 as another video played. He had not reappeared as of 8:05pm.
Other notes:
At 7:26 pm the first video played that included voiceover from one of President Donald Trump’s previous speeches.
The president stood and saluted again after a long period sitting at 7:50 pm for West Point during “The Future” section of the parade.
At some point after the last pool report, when the parade had passed the hour mark, VP Vance’s family moved out of the front row and a group of military officials replaced them. Vance is still there, three seats in, mirroring POTUS’ previous position on the other side of the stage.
