Michelle Obama’s office announced Tuesday that she will not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration.
It is confirmed that former President Barack Obama would be present at the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. According to the announcement, former first lady Michelle Obama will not be present at the impending inauguration.
Her absence was not explained.
Michelle Obama did not go to former President Jimmy Carter’s burial ceremony last week either. President Joe Biden and Jill Biden, President-elect Trump and Melania Trump, Barack Obama, George W. and Laura Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton were present.
Since her husband’s inauguration in 2009, Michelle Obama has been present at all of them, including the inauguration of Trump in 2017, the year he succeeded Obama. She admitted on her 2023 episode of “The Light Podcast” that it was not a pleasant experience.
“On that stage, there was no color or diversity.” There was no representation of America as a whole. I was photographed by numerous people who said, “You weren’t in a good mood.” She answered, “No, I wasn’t.”
