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.

You must have a couple screws loose. Voting for Rats? Never.
Trump’s his own worst enemy. His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place.
Actually, we’re our worst enemy. Look at the garbage and human debris we elect and send to Congress to represent us.
Skunks refuse to attend Rose Garden party -so sad!
Is McArthy primary-able?
Better to wait until we get the scuttlebutt.
I wish. Maybe we’ll get a special surprise tomorrow.
Not a popular position here, but I am still praying that God give POTUS the strength to do what needs to be done.
watching for the document dump tonight, which will be an indicator of which direction things will be going.
“ Way to turn your back on your voters...again.”
Well, they’ve clearly seen that the voters...or the people...do not really matter, so they are in protection mode and hope the sharks in the water eat them last.
Trump did nothing except to challenge an obviously fraudulent election. You think he should have just rolled over and accepted the fraud?
He was alone and had zero allies in the leaders of his own party. Considering that he was wonderful after the election.
Pence is done. He showed that he’s Establishment.
The implosion and collapse of the GOP has brought about a great deal of despair. A short period of time ago there were two major political parties in the US and now there is one.
RNC has conspired to rig the election for DNC and now they are finished. Twice. If there is a silver lining here we now know we need to go in another direction. There can be no delay.
What a coincidence. I’ll be skipping voting for Republicans in the future.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
“...His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place.”
So, I guess you belong to the BOHICA party. “Thank you, sir - may I please have another?!” Trump fights - while you look for your knee pads.
“If he doesn’t pardon Assange, he will be dead to me.”
You’re dead to us.
He has exposed everyone who they are going forward.
Based on what has and is happening since January 6, 2021; I think your post is very accurate. I also like the idea of an Assange pardon too.
Are they skipping it as the Propaganda Media purports or were they not invited?
Can’t you just feel the love?
