Fox News  Just report­ed that VP Mike Pence will not attend Pres­i­dent Trump’s farewell cer­e­mo­ny, but he will ensure he’s at Biden’s inauguration.

 

UPDATE: CNN cov­ers for Biden and says it’s a time con­straint… we are rais­ing the BS flag on that. Trump send off is at 8am, the inau­gu­ra­tion begins at 11am, that’s a 3 hour win­dow for a 5 min heli­copter ride from Andrews AFB to the Nation­al Mall.

Vice Pres­i­dent Mike Pence is not expect­ed to attend Pres­i­dent Trump’s depar­ture cer­e­mo­ny at Joint Base Andrews, accord­ing to two Pence sources.

Logis­ti­cal­ly, the sources said it would be dif­fi­cult for Pence to be at Joint Base Andrews for Trump’s send­off and attend Pres­i­dent-elect Joe Biden’s inau­gur­al, as the out­go­ing vice pres­i­dent is expect­ed to do.

Trump will depart the White House South Lawn via Marine One for Joint Base Andrews ear­ly tomor­row morn­ing, giv­ing Pence a chance to bid farewell to the Pres­i­dent then.

More on Trump’s depar­ture: Trump is sched­uled to deliv­er remarks before his final depar­ture from Joint Base Andrews, where a mil­i­tary-style cer­e­mo­ny is being planned.

Invi­ta­tions have gone out to Trump’s friends, allies and for­mer admin­is­tra­tion offi­cials say­ing it will begin at 8 a.m. ET. Each invi­tee is allowed five guests; orga­niz­ers hope to secure a large crowd because Trump has com­plained about the size of his gath­er­ings in the past.
