Biden commits to attend Trump’s inauguration in January

In a significant commitment, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will attend Donald Trump's inauguration scheduled for January. This announcement was made by Andrew Bates, the senior deputy press secretary at the White House, reinforcing Biden's pledge to honor the democratic tradition of attending the inauguration of the winning presidential candidate. Notably, the president-elect Trump did not attend Biden's inauguration in January 2021, amidst security concerns following the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. This decision reflects Biden’s intention to ensure a smooth transition of power and promote unity in a politically divided nation, contrasting Trump's previous avoidance of these democratic rituals.
