Vice President Mike Pence and the top two Republicans in Congress, soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plan to skip President Donald Trump's departure ceremony on Wednesday morning.
Trump, bucking tradition, will depart from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for his home in Florida at 8 a.m. ET without meeting with President-elect Joe Biden or attending his inauguration ceremony later in the day.
In most previous years, the outgoing president has met with the incoming president and first lady at the White House. After attending their successors' inauguration ceremonies, former presidents often depart from the Capitol in a military helicopter to head to Joint Base Andrews to fly off to begin their post-presidential life.
Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.

‘LIFE IS LIKE A...
BOOMERANG
WHAT YOU THROW IN LIFE..
IS WHAT WILL RETURN TO YOU”
They are of their father, the devil...
Always true. He was also his own best advocate.
His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place.
It's not looking promising... we're definitely on the defense but the Capitol mess isn't on Trump as far as I can see. Unfortunately, the phony narrative will be come the accepted Truth.
Politicians are being politicians.
As far as Pence, McConnell, McCarthy not attending Trump's departure, the reality is Trump's the one leaving early. I don't know if it's traditional for VP & congressional leaders of the outgoing president's party to be in attendance.
Them not seeing Trump off means nothing and doesn't effect how I feel about any of those men.
McConnell is a pos.
Cut off your nose to spite your face?
America to the Swamp Rats. Attention, Attention, we hate you! No, we Loath you!! You are screwing yourselves up!! We love Trump and will punish EVERYONE who turns on him!! Perhaps it is time to leave Washington to spend more time with your $$ I mean family!!
Good one !
after what I saw of Hunter’s pics how can Biden go into a church after saying his son was a wonderful person who never did anything wrong?
He’ll be parading Hunter into church with them..along with the poor granddaughters.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — who will soon switch jobs — will go to church with Biden on the morning of inauguration along with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
In a sign of unity, the top lawmakers will pray together at St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington before Biden’s swearing-in, according to two people familiar with the schedule. Biden will be only the second Catholic to serve as U.S. president.
President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have refused to do the traditional get-togethers with the incoming president and will not attend inauguration.
But other Republicans have stepped forward in their place. Vice President Mike Pence will be at inauguration and former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura will go to Arlington National Cemetery with the Bidens in the afternoon. — Jennifer Jacobs
The Bible says Pilate and Herod, who were once enemies, became friends, friends over their treatment of Christ.
And they are both in big trouble. We are headed into unchartered territory and soon, the prophecy that Jesus told in Matthew 24 will take place. A time of trouble such as never was. I no longer look to the United States for anything. It’s lost. Done. I look to the 2nd coming. And that’s what the Bible is all about.
Barfo!

I don’t think that applies anymore.
I think if Trump started a new Party all 75 million would join the next day.
The GOP would be dead in the water. No membership, no income, No fundraisers...
And if we would not let any current GOP officeholders run in primaries, we would clean the whole house in the next two years. Remember- every sitting congressman runs for reelection every two years.
I know but can’t find it now I saw a reference somewhere in this thread about this - it’s also Biden’s goodbye, and he should be there.
Oops - Pence’s
Sounds good to me. I changed my party affiliation to independent already.
“Oh, my feelings are so hurt!”
Is empathy included in your array of feelings? Over and out. I won’t have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
Remember the Trump interview where he said he would like to lose everything for awhile so he could find out who was truly loyal to him and who was not? Well....
