The New York Post quoted some sources as saying Mr. Pence would likely make an appearance at the January 20 event at the Capitol in a show of support for the peaceful transition of power. Meanwhile, on Friday, President Donald Trump said he would not attend the inauguration. President Trump earlier criticized Mr. Pence following his refusal to stop the certification of the president-elect’s Electoral College win. The presidential inauguration is expected to take place in a limited scaled in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
