President-elect Joe Biden’s upcoming inauguration will look different due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) revealed during his appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” the majority of Biden’s inauguration will be virtual.
“Look, we know what we’re in, and Joe Biden admitted very clear that he is going to lead by precept and example and so we will be setting an example with this inauguration,” Clyburn said.
He added, “It is going to be what we might call a hybrid. He’ll take the oath in the traditional way, but all of the inaugural festivities are going to be 80%, what you call virtual.”
Watch his comments below:
Clyburn weighed in on whether President Donald Trump should attend Biden’s inauguration.
“Does he have to be there? I don’t think so. Should he be there? Yes. This is not the only thing this president should do that he has not done,” Clyburn said.
He continued, “So the president can participate if he cares to, but if he doesn’t this country will move on without him.”
