Donald Trump, who has regained the use of his Twitter account, announced this Friday, January 8 that he would not attend the inauguration of his successor Joe Biden, as is the American tradition. “To all who have asked, I will not be attending the oath taking on January 20,” he wrote in a terse tweet. Donald Trump will thus become the first president to refuse to attend the swearing-in of his successor since Andrew Johnson in 1869.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in on January 20 at noon as President and Vice President of the United States, respectively. This long-awaited ceremony traditionally takes place on the steps of Congress, in front of the lawns of the National Mall. Every four years, hundreds of thousands of spectators flock to the US federal capital to attend, but access will be limited this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.
