For the first time in the United States, the president without president becomes inaugurated

The inauguration of Joe Biden as president of the United States will take place at noon on Wednesday. It will be the first ceremony in recent history that will not be attended by the outgoing president and the first lady.

Beden will be sworn in as 46th president of the US at the 59th inauguration ceremony, and unlike previous ceremonies, traditional speeches, performances and former presidents will appear in front of a small, physically remote audience with protective masks and in a closed town due to pandemic, as well as security threats.

After the oath, Biden will have his first address to the nation as president, writes NBC News.

As in previous inaugurations, most members of Congress and Supreme Court are expected to attend, as well as former presidents with their wives, Barack and Michelle Obama, George and Lore Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, while the oldest living president, Jimmy Carter, 96, and his wife will not participate in the ceremony, but they have sent their best wishes.

Outgoing President Donald Trump and First Lady Melanie will not attend the ceremony, as they will earlier travel by military helicopter to Florida, which made Trump the first president since 1869, who has not participated in the inauguration of his successor.

Meanwhile, current US Vice President Mike Pence will not appear at Donald Trump's farewell ceremony at Andrew's base, confirmed by his office, writes CNN.

According to the calendar of its obligations, the Pence will participate in the inauguration of Joe Biden in Washington, so he cannot be in two countries at the same time, a source for CNN said.

Trump will fly in a helicopter from the White House tomorrow morning, and this will be an opportunity that Pence says goodbye.

On Twitter, Pence thanked the Americans for the privilege of being vice president of the United States for four years and shared photos taken during his mandate, but none of them show President Donald Trump.
