Who will NOT attend?
One notable figure that will not be attending the inauguration is former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has confirmed through a representative that she will not join her husband Barack.
A spokesperson for Michelle confirmed that she will not be present, just days after she missed Jimmy Carter's funeral as well. At the time, a rep stated that she had "scheduling conflicts" and was in Hawai'i at the time.
