Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, as confirmed by her spokesperson. This absence follows a contentious relationship between the two, which was highlighted during both of Trump's administrations. Pelosi, who has attended 11 previous inaugurations, did not provide a reason for her absence, but has faced health challenges recently following hip replacement surgery. Other prominent figures, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, will also be absent, reflecting a broader trend among some Democrats to skip the event. Trump's previous inauguration saw Pelosi as a vocal opponent, intensifying their fraught history.
