On Biden's Inauguration Day, Trump Will See Himself Out

President Trump plans to leave the White House and Washington on Inauguration Day with a departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, a senior administration official said on Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the announcement is not yet official.

Trump — who has not congratulated President-elect Joe Biden for winning the election, nor conceded that his loss was legitimate — is the first president in modern history to skip the swearing-in of his successor.

Trump fought the results of the election and was impeached by the House of Representatives last week for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol while Congress certified Biden's win. He had already announced on Twitter – just before he was banned from the platform – that he would not be going to Biden's inauguration. Biden said afterward that "it's a good thing, him not showing up." Vice President Pence plans to attend.
