WASHINGTON – Before leaving the White House, President Donald Trump left a note for his successor, Joe Biden, in the Oval Office, carrying on at least one tradition of the peaceful transition of power.
Trump went to Florida Wednesday morning and did not attend Biden’s inauguration ceremony, breaking with more than a century of precedent in which presidents have witnessed their successors taking the oath of office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Leaving a note for Biden is one Inauguration Day tradition that Trump chose to keep.
