I’m assuming that none of the Democratic governors, nor former officials like O’Malley, are going to fly to Washington to see Trump inaugurated.  But most current members of Congress from both parties usually show up.  This year however, some Dems, mostly in the House, are boycotting.  Looks like Kamala Harris now says she won’t be there either:

What about Booker, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Sanders, Warren, and Gabbard?  Will they actually show up?

I don't see what the big deal is.  I think we need to stop wasting so much money on inaugurations, celebrity balls etc.  Sure, they're a tradition, but who cares.

Looks like Harris will attend after all:

And Gillibrand too:

So maybe all of the 2020ers in Congress will end up attending, depending on who you count as a 2020er.  Not sure about Gabbard, but since she was willing to meet with Trump at Trump Tower, I assume she'd attend the inauguration.

The Sour Grapes Democrats and the malcontents will skip the inauguration and launch their silly protests.

But the average American won't care, because the average American will be tuning into the inauguration, which will mark the first day of making America great again.

Didn't watch Dubya's inauguration, but this wasn't suppose to be and Trump isn't the best for this country. Thumbs Down for President Trump. 

At least Obama and Bush were much more suitable than Trump ever will be.
