Biden: Trump attending inauguration is ‘of consequence’ to the country
President-elect Joe Biden said on Thursday that it is not important to him personally if President Trump attends his inauguration next month, but added that it would be important for the country to bear witness to a peaceful transfer of power.
“Important in only one sense,” Biden told CNN’s Jake Tapper when asked if he thought it was important for Trump to attend his inauguration. “Not in a personal sense, important in a sense that we are able to demonstrate at the end of this chaos that he’s created that there is a peaceful transfer of power with the competing parties standing there, shaking hands and moving on.”
