Mike Pence to Attend Donald Trump's Inauguration on Monday at Capitol Rotunda

Jan 18, 2025, 02:18 AM

Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Monday, according to reports from the New York Times. Pence, who served as vice president during Trump's first term, was invited by the congressional committee overseeing the event, a customary practice for former presidents and vice presidents. The relationship between Pence and Trump has been strained since January 6, 2021, when Pence refused to overturn the 2020 election results, leading to a public fallout. Despite this, Pence's attendance at the inauguration marks a notable moment in their reconciliation process. The inauguration ceremony has been moved indoors to the Capitol rotunda due to anticipated cold weather.
