Former Vice President Mike Pence reportedly plans to attend the inauguration on Monday despite the bad blood between him and President Donald Trump.
On Friday evening, the New York Times reported Pence would attend and “was invited by the congressional committee overseeing the event, as is the custom for all former presidents and vice presidents, according to one of the people with knowledge of the planning.”
“It is unclear what impact, if any, the request by Mr. Trump to move his second swearing-in ceremony into the Capitol Rotunda will have on the seating arrangements for former presidents and vice presidents,” the report added. “Unlike the outdoor dais and the seating setup, the Capitol Rotunda only seats about 600 people.”
The inauguration is being moved to the Capitol Rotunda due to the expected freezing temperatures.
Pence ran against Trump in the 2024 election but exited the race during the primaries when he failed to gain any momentum.
Last week, Trump posted on Truth Social that he will not hire anyone associated with Pence, Charles Koch, “Dumb as a Rock” John Bolton, the Cheneys, “Birdbrain” Nikki Haley, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, and General Mark Milley.

Well, la dee frickin da.
Place him outside the doors in the cold. He can watch it on TV like everyone else.
I hope Trump tells secret service to keep Pence away from him.
Most likely Pence is only coming here to try to mingle and meddle. Like all politicians he desperately wants to be relevant. I don’t think Trump has any illusions about Pence or his like-minded pals in DC.
President Trump is way too forgiving, who gave him a ticket
Pleeeez...He was invited along with other past Presidents and VPs.
(who gave him a ticket)
From the article:

Between his cowardice with over half of America and his so-called religious hypocrisy, he should stay far away from Trump. I hope to never hear about him for the rest of my life.
... SEATS ONLY about 600 ...
Pence can sit outside and watch the inauguration through a window.
He should not have been invited. I’d have him banned from White House grounds.
Pence and Paul Ryan two peas.
One of the last extinct RINOS.
Don’t get me started on Ryano. He’s one of my top five hated politicians. Maybe number one.
Absolutely right.
Ryan is particularly insidious as he’s a wonky type who knows how to use the system to undermine Trump.
Pence is a pious and self-serving person who has convinced a lot of people that he is sincere.
Both are connivers who despise Trump.
And for good reasons.
Imagine what Trump could have accomplished in term #1 with Ryan’s support. Ryan is an insidious weasel who works in the shadows.
Once he endorsed Harris over Trump he was done. What a piece of Sh*t…
They have all the blackmail on politicians visiting the Virginia countryside.Ryan is the true DC puppet master.
