“We’re looking forward to ensuring a seamless transition,” Biden said during the meeting. “We will do everything to accommodate your team’s needs and make the process as smooth as it can get.” He concluded the exchange with a warm, “Welcome back.”

A Historical Perspective

Trump’s attendance at Biden’s inauguration in 2021 was notably absent, breaking a tradition observed for over 150 years. The decision followed the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and was widely discuss as a historic departure from standard protocol. At the time, the outgoing administration was represented by then Vice President Mike Pence.

Honoring Democratic Norms

The Bidens’ decision to attend Trump’s inauguration underscores a commitment to restoring bipartisan respect for the peaceful transfer of power, regardless of political differences. As the January 20 ceremony approaches, all eyes will be on Washington to witness the resumption of traditions that embody the resilience of American democracy.
