Former Vice President Mike Pence is planning to attend President-elect Trump’s inauguration on Monday, a source familiar with his plans told The Hill. 

Pence will likely be one of many current and former high-ranking officials to attend the inauguration ceremony, alongside President Biden, former President Obama and former President Bush. 

The event ended up being moved inside the Capitol because of a projected snowstorm and freezing temperatures expected in Washington. 

Pence had to escape the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, as he was presiding over the joint session to certify President Biden’s victory in the 2020 election when a mob of pro-Trump backers stormed the building. 

The relationship between the two men soured then. The former vice president ran in the 2024 GOP presidential primary before ending it in late October 2023, months before the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses. 

In July last year, Trump selected JD Vance as his next vice president.

Trump and Pence saw each other for the first time since the insurrection at the funeral for former President Carter that was held at the Washington National Cathedral just over a week ago. The two shook hands.

The New York Times first reported on Pence’s possible attendance.

The Hill has reached out to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies for comment. 

Alex Gangitano contributed to this report.
