Mike Pence
US Vice President Mike Pence decided to go to the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden on January 20. This became known to NBC News from a source familiar with Pence's decision.
Earlier, Joe Biden invited Mike Pence to his inauguration. At the same time, he called the decision of the current American head Donald Trump not to attend the event, which he announced earlier, as good. In addition, the President-elect expressed confidence that the inauguration will take place safely and without problems.
On January 7, the US Congress, amid unrest, approved the election of Joe Biden as president. He received over 270 electoral votes. A day earlier, Donald Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building and surrounded the Senate Hall. The Senate and House of Representatives suspended the meeting. The Capitol building in Washington was later cleared of protesters.
