Late last night, WDEL reported that Tom Carper and Chris Coons are going though Carper has given himself some wiggle room.
“I expect that I will, I’ve attended inaugurations for Democrats and Republicans in the past as a congressman, as governor and as a senator,” said Carper.
Now, Coons who considers Congressman John Lewis as one of his heroes and “one of the members of Congress with the greatest moral authority”, is still going.
“I still think that’s it’s important to witness the peaceful transfer of power as a result of an election,” said Coons. “There are some very troubling developments this past week and trend in our nation, and I will speak to that. But I think it is my role to attend the inauguration.”
Meanwhile, Lisa Blunt Rochester did not respond to calls from Channel 6 Action News regarding whether she will be attending.
