Congress leaders, including Kevin McCarthy, leader of the House GOP, and Mitch McConnell, leader of the Senate majority, will address President Trump’s departure ceremony tomorrow morning in Maryland in favor of attending the mass with incoming President Joe Biden before his inauguration, congressional sources familiar with their plans tell Axios.
Why it matters: Their decision is a clear sign of unity before Biden takes the oath of office.
What we hear: The Catholic service takes place in the St. Matthews Church in downtown Washington DC, about 10 blocks from the White House. It is expected to start at 08:45, sources with direct knowledge told Axios.
- Punchbowl News first reported details about the service.
Trump’s send away will be held Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Joint Base Andrews. Trump requested a military style with a band and possibly a transition report.
