PALM BEACH, Fla. — Alabama Governor Kay Ivey made her way out of the state Thursday, ahead of a winter storm set to impact the northern part of the state, to meet with many of the country's other Republican governors at President-elect Donald Trump's Florida estate.
"Our nation's flag will be prominently displayed at full-staff to honor the tradition of our founding fathers," he said in a memo.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds are also expected to be in attendance.
Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered that Florida's flags will fly at full staff on Jan. 21 for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, temporarily reversing his order after Jimmy Carter's death.
There are still two weeks to go in the mourning period for former president Jimmy Carter, when American flags are directed to be flown at half-staff.
DeSantis' order follows Alabama and Texas where the governors of those states also called for flags to fly full-staff on Inauguration Day.
