Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence plans to attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, according to the New York Times. The report, citing sources familiar with the planning, noted that representatives for Pence and Trump have yet to comment on the matter.
Pence served as vice president during Trump’s first term from 2017 to 2021 but ran against his former boss for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 election. His relationship with Trump has been tense since the end of their administration, particularly after Pence refused Trump’s demand to overturn the 2020 election results on January 6, 2021.
While Pence did not endorse Trump in the 2024 election, his attendance at the inauguration could signal a potential easing of tensions between the two prominent Republican figures. However, this development comes against the backdrop of a deeply divided Republican party and ongoing debates over its leadership.
The move marks a significant moment for Pence, whose political career has been shaped by both his alignment and disagreements with Trump. As Trump prepares to begin his second term, the dynamics between the two remain a focal point for political observers and party strategists.
The inauguration is expected to draw attention from across the political spectrum, with many watching for any signs of reconciliation or continued division between Trump and Pence.
Pence’s decision underscores the complex relationships within the Republican party and the broader implications for its future direction.
