Washington: US Vice President Mike Pence will attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony scheduled to be held on January 20. On Friday, Biden said that Pence was welcome to attend his inauguration.

Biden said, "He's welcome. I think it's important that as much as we can stick to what have been the historical precedents of how an administration changes should be maintained. And so Mike, the vice president, is welcome to come. We'd be honoured to have him there, and to move forward in the transition."

This development comes after President Donald Trump announced on Twitter, before his account was suspended, that he would not be attending the ceremony. In response, US president-elect said that Trump not attending was a 'good thing' and one of the few things both agreed on. Biden said, "He exceeded even my worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world. He's not worthy to hold that office."
