Vice President Mike Pence is not expected to attend President Trump s departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, according to two Pence sources.
Logistically, the sources said it would be difficult for Pence to be at Joint Base Andrews for Trump s sendoff and attend President-elect Joe Biden s inaugural, as the outgoing vice president is expected to do.
Trump will depart the White House South Lawn via Marine One for Joint Base Andrews early tomorrow morning, giving Pence a chance to bid farewell to the President then.
The Biden-Harris administration announces the formation of a Gender Policy Council to focus on uplifting the rights of girls and women in the United States and around the world.
