Vice President Mike Pence is expected to attend Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration later this month after overseeing Wednesday’s chaotic certification of the president-elect’s Electoral College win

.

It was unclear if members of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies had already extended an invitation to Pence or other high-profile guests who have confirmed their attendance, including former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura. Instead, White House aides are discussing the president and first lady leaving for their South Florida resort Mar-a-Lago the day before the inauguration so that they are not in Washington when Biden takes the oath of office, according to a Trump friend.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Biden’s inauguration is expected to be a largely virtual affair with limited in-person ceremonies. The inaugural committee tasked with planning the event previously implored people not to travel to Washington for the inauguration — a warning that is likely to be amplified following an unprecedented breach of the Capitol complex by pro-Trump protesters on Wednesday.

Hopefully as President

He’ll use the crapper on Air Force One and won’t flush.

Good plan. I think President Trump is right

Plus, it’s a good idea to get out of Dodge before the shooting starts again!

Why does this bother you so much?

TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸

He has his own plane.

Did he have to sell his Trump plane?

Let him rent a Uhaul instead.

I think he should be made to fly home commercial. Masked up, in coach between a squalling baby and a septuagenerian who takes his shoes AND socks off.

I'd tell him to walk.

I thing that a single engine puddle jumper prop job would be appropriate for donald.

What a baby.

Isn’t it time for a 15,000 mile check up?

wait, doesnt he have his own plane or planes?

Trump was 'completely wrong' to cast doubt on the US election and encourage supporters to storm the Capitol, Boris Johnson has said. The UK prime minister said he 'unreservedly condemns' the US president's actions. Four people died after a pro-Trump mob stormed the building.

intense poodling expected. Roll on the floor Mike!

Great, now how about he invoke that 25th amendment so we can all breathe again?!

Good for him

ArcherMishale Will the fly attend?

What about the 25thAmendment !!!!! VP

NotHoodlum Sad when this has to be announced(:

I'd really enjoy seeing Trump make Pence president for an easy pardon but getting the cold shoulder halfway through.

It takes a long time to get to know a person. Mike 'Judas' Pence.

That's great, but where is he today? Where's the statement from him about moving forward? Where's the statement from the President?

Well, he might be the acting president by then, anyway. Regardless, Trump will not be there which is a good thing.

Sources close to Pence said he would likely make an appearance in a show of support for the peaceful transition of power. The decision to attend, they said, became easier after Trump publicly criticized Pence about his refusal to stop the certification.
