In a proclamation issued Dec. 29, Biden ordered flags across the U.S. to be flown at half-staff for 3 days "in honor and tribute to the memory of President James Earl Carter Jr. and as an expression of public sorrow."

Then-President Joe Biden ordered flags be flown at half-staff for 30 days following the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

In the White House press release, the president ordered that flags be returned to half-staff in honor of the late President Carter.

Reynolds, along with other Republican governors, ordered all flags to be raised for Jan. 20 in honor of President Donald Trump's inauguration. Flags at Iowa state buildings returned to half-staff starting Jan. 21 and were ordered to remain down until sunset on Jan. 28, according to the governor's office.
