It is noted that Biden intends to attend the event "regardless of the outcome of the upcoming elections." According to Biden, "this is not about his own view of things, but about the American people, who should always see a peaceful transfer of power.
The administration's statement put to rest rumors that the current president would not want to join the celebration of Donald Trump's return to the number one position, if it happens.
In 2021, Trump himself, breaking with the traditions of American politics, did not participate in Biden's inauguration and did not even hold a welcoming meeting with the next president at the White House, leaving the residence with his wife Melania before the Bidens arrived.
