Michelle Obama Skips Trump Inauguration: A Break from Tradition

Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not be attending President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week, a decision that breaks from the tradition of former first ladies attending the swearing-in ceremony. While other living former first ladies, including Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, alongside their husbands, are confirmed to attend, Obama’s absence has sparked widespread discussion. Sources have suggested reasons behind her decision, though no official explanation has been provided by her office. The move is seen as a significant departure from the norm, where former first ladies typically participate in the ceremonial transition of power.
