Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won't attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?
Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!
Yeah, I'd be interested in how many people go to the inauguration of other countries heads of state.
Like, my best guess is that it's a dig at, like, Gov Abbott, but I agree that I don't think I'd expect him to, even if he was a Democrat.
When was the last time Mexico attended a US Presidential Inauguration lol

Also, is it normal for them to attend, or are we just making this great Mexico news about America?
Guessing it is common for the state department to send a representative. Perhaps the Secretary of State since it’s an important neighbour. Since it’s campaign time, you could see others going if they believe it helps their reelection bid somehow ( though I don’t know how), but it would not be unusual if only the US ambassador to Mexico is present. I don’t know of any foreign politician that attend the US presidential inauguration.
I mean you have to assume they're talking about like the governor of Texas or something, but I've never heard of them attending before.
I will NOT be attending, so I'm on the list. I can't go, but I won't be going, either, as I neither have an invitation nor the means to do so.
Yeah I'm confused as to why that sentence was in the announcement.
