US President Joe Biden has confirmed that he will attend Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration next month, saying it’s the right thing to do despite their differences. In an interview, Biden stated, “Of course I am” attending the inauguration, emphasizing the importance of respecting the democratic process.
This move is particularly significant given that Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration in 2021, breaking a 150-year tradition. Trump’s decision was seen as a departure from the norms of peaceful transfer of power in the US.
Biden’s decision to attend Trump’s inauguration is a demonstration of his commitment to upholding democratic traditions, despite the acrimonious relationship between the two leaders. Biden has instructed his administration to follow traditional transition procedures, ensuring a smooth handover of power.
The inauguration is scheduled to take place on January 20, where Trump will be administered the oath of office by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Biden’s presence at the event will be seen as a significant gesture of goodwill and respect for the democratic process.
