US President-elect, Joe Biden, expressed his happiness that outgoing President Donald Trump will not attend the inauguration, commenting: “it’s good he won’t attend”.
“I was told on the way over here that he indicated he wasn’t going to show up at the inauguration: One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on,” Biden said of Trump. “It’s a good thing, him not showing up.”
“He’s exceeded even my worst notions about him,” the president-elect said. “He is one of the most incompetent presidents in the history of the United States of America.”
However, Biden extended an invitation to Vice President Mike Pence saying: “I would be honored to have him there,” suggesting it would be an adequate way to fulfill the norm of presidents attending their successor’s inauguration in a nod to the peaceful transfer of power.
