President Donald Trump greets his supporters at Valley International Airport on January 12, 2021 in Harlingen, Texas. President Trump later delivered remarks during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico Border in Alamo, Texas. An official who asked not to be identified said Trump would go to his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida, which is his legal residence and will become home after the White House.
The final straw came on January 6 when Trump gathered a huge crowd of supporters on the National Mall and once more claimed that they had to fight to stop a fraudulent election. A mob then stormed Congress, halting proceedings underway to certify Biden’s win. On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence did make the gesture of telephoning his incoming counterpart Kamala Harris, a source said.
In a letter confirming he would step down when Biden takes office on January 20, Alex Azar called the violence “an assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power,” urging Trump to condemn all violence and help ensure a smooth handover to Biden.Trump’s extraordinary exit adds to the nervous atmosphere around an inauguration that was already set to be like no other.
