President Biden Confirms Attendance at Trump’s January Inauguration

Biden emphasizes commitment to democratic traditions and a smooth transfer of power after Trump’s election victory.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, as confirmed by the White House.
Biden pledged before the election to attend the inauguration of whoever won, viewing it as a demonstration of respect for democratic values and the will of the people.
This marks a contrast to 2021, when Trump declined to attend Biden’s inauguration following the Capitol riot and his election loss.
Biden and Trump recently met at the White House, where both leaders committed to ensuring a smooth and peaceful transition of power.
The transition process is ongoing, though reports indicate that the Trump team has yet to finalize key agreements with the Biden administration to facilitate the handover.
