Meanwhile President Trump left the White House and opted not to be part of Inauguration Day. As always, follow @cspan for many clips like this throughout the day.
While President Trump is en route to FL, former presidents are being introduced. What a contrast.
These little moments before the inauguration always deeply move me as a government teacher. The symbolism of so many former presidents coming together to support the new president.
Sen. Klobuchar and Sen. Blunt, a members of the Senate Inaugural Committee, set the context with explicit nods to the insurrection and the pandemic. inaugural.senate.gov/about-the-comm…
Also loved Fr. O’Donovan’s reference to Pope Francis on dreaming together.
