While most of the rest of the nation and the world watched Joe Biden being sworn in as the 46th President on Wednesday, a few Trump loyalists gathered in the streets outside Mar-a-Lago to hold a dance party.
The crowd - which was mostly maskless - danced, laughed and hugged as they waited for Trump to arrive in Florida with his children. Almost all of the Trump clan has now made Florida their home.
In his final hours as President on Tuesday and Wednesday, Trump pardoned dozens of celebrities, donors and millionaires from future prosecution.
He gave a final speech at Joint Base Andrews before boarding Air Force One, where he promised to be back in some form before trying to take credit for the Biden s administration s future success.
Trump fled for Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday morning, choosing not to go to Joe Biden s inauguration ceremony in a snub the likes which hasn t been seen since the 1800s.
MINNEAPOLIS â Kelly Jo McDonnell, after growing up in the shadow of her Hall of Fame father Jim McDonnell in Royal, continues making a name for herself in the broadcast journalism world after recently winning an Emmy in November for her production work on âMinnesota Bound,â which airs on KARE-11, the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The award winning production piece, a Boundary Waters Mining special, won in the category of public/current/community affairs program.
âWe called it âThe Boundary Waters at Risk,â and it highlighted the Minnesota mining quandary of Twin Metals wanting to mine copper right on the edge of the Boundary Waters,â she explained. âWe covered both sides â can they mine safely, etc. Boy, did we find plenty of opinions ⦠mainly up in Ely, Minnesota, where the whole debate is a pretty hot topic.
