Mike Pence‘s appearance at Donald Trump‘s inauguration suggests a thaw in their relationship. The former vice president, accompanied by his wife Karen, was seen walking through the Capitol Rotunda to witness Trump taking the oath as the 47th President of the United States. The ceremony had to be moved indoors due to the cold East Coast temperatures.
The Congressional committee overseeing the event extended customary invitations to Pence and other former vice presidents and presidents, signaling a possible reconciliation between Pence and Trump. Their relationship had soured following the January 6 Capitol riots when Trump criticized Pence for certifying the 2020 election results, which led to a rift between the two men.
