U.S. Vice President Mike Pence will attend the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Joe Biden on the 20th.

On the 9th (local time), Reuters reported as such, citing a government source. This is due to US President Donald Trump’s intention to abstain from the inauguration ceremony of Biden-elect via Twitter.

President Trump posted on Twitter the day before, “I will not go to the presidential inauguration ceremony on the 20th.”

Accordingly, Vice President Pence will attend the inauguration ceremony for the next president.

It has been 152 years since the 17th President Johnson’s absence in 1869 that the incumbent president did not attend the inauguration ceremony for his successor.

Traditionally, the outgoing president travels in the same vehicle as his successor to the Capitol where the inauguration ceremony is held. However, Trump’s absence has also broken this tradition, which symbolizes a peaceful regime transition.
