The Trump family is preparing for a big day in the capitol as he'll be sworn in as the new POTUS on January 20. 

This year's inauguration falls on Martin Luther King Jr. day, and despite the public holiday, several notable figures are expected to attend.

As with Jimmy Carter's funeral on January 9, all the living former Presidents are expected to be in attendance at the inauguration. This  means Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

A majority of the former First Ladies will also be in attendance, including Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Dr. Jill Biden, as well as members of the Trump family.

Michelle Obama will skip the event with her spokesperson confirming the news.

The Obamas welcomed Trump and his wife Melania into the White House in 2017 ahead of his first inauguration.

The former model gave an interview recently to FOX & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt and addressed the handover. 

"The first time was challenging; we didn't have much information," Melania claimed. "The information was upheld [sic] from us by the previous administration. But this time I have everything. It's a very different transition this time, second time around."
