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.

DJT never should have tried to make peace with the GOP. Now, it has to be burnt down to the ground.

Trump’s his own worst enemy. His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place. If he doesn’t pardon Assange, he will be dead to me.Said by a poster who calls himself a "terrorist".

Yep. When does the occupier begin illegally sitting in the Oval office anyway? Is it the 21st or the same day as the fake inauguration?

I’ll vote for the democrats directly before I vote for a Republican party ran by these backstabbers again. Better to get it over with instead of enduring the Republican death of a thousand cuts.
The GOP must die for this betrayal. No votes for the traitors.

"Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service...with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC..." What would be an unfortunate typo becomes sadly relevant with Biden in the picture.
