Sorry. You are right about the swearing-in doesn’t take place until January but the next election is in November 2024 (next year) and the next presidential term starts in January 2025. Add four years to that and I get 2029, not 2030.

That’s not true. Election will (hopefully) be held in November 2028 and the winner will be inaugurated in January, 2029. You’re two years off. Presidential elections are held every four years. The last one was 2020. The one next year in 2024. And there will be another one in 2028. I can’t explain it any clearer to you.

@jaBier is right; that president will be sworn in on January 20, 2029.
