Biden and the first lady will be attending the inauguration of Trump

The nation is expecting a big transition in January when the White House again makes a transition between a Biden and a Trump.

The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump will take place on January 20, according to a report by The Hill.

Attendance Confirmation

The White House has confirmed that President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will be present for the proceedings.

“The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whomever won the election,” Andrew Bates, who serves as a senior deputy press secretary at the White House, said in a statement, obtained by Reuters.

“He and the first lady are going to honor that promise and attend the inauguration.”

On the First Family

In spite of the alarmist campaign rhetoric that Joe Biden used against the Republican nominee, he had committed to attending the inauguration in January, regardless of whether Vice President Kamala Harris or Donald Trump emerged victorious.

Trump did not show up for the inauguration of Vice President Joe Biden because of the disruption that occurred during the 2020 election, which he continues to insist was stolen, and the unrest that occurred on January 6.

After announcing that he would not be going, he sent out his final tweet before being banned from Twitter at the time.

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” he tweeted on Jan. 8, 2021.

Biden Response

Reporters were told by Biden that his absence would be a "good thing" and "one of the few things he and I have ever agreed on," in a brutal response.

“He exceeded even my worst notions about him,” he said. “He’s been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world. He’s not worthy to hold that office.”

Biden's attitude has changed over the course of the past four years, and he now emphasizes his dedication to ensuring a seamless transition.

“We’re looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated, what you need, and we’re going to get a chance to talk about some of that today,” Biden said during Trump’s visit to the White House earlier this month. “Welcome back.”

The fact that Trump chose not to attend the nomination of his successor was the first time in more than 150 years that something like this had occurred.

During the first inauguration of Donald Trump in 2016, both Barack and Michelle Obama were in attendance.
