Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won’t attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?

Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!

Yeah, I’d be interested in how many people go to the inauguration of other countries heads of state.

Like, my best guess is that it’s a dig at, like, Gov Abbott, but I agree that I don’t think I’d expect him to, even if he was a Democrat.

I will NOT be attending, so I’m on the list. I can’t go, but I won’t be going, either, as I neither have an invitation nor the means to do so.

Also, is it normal for them to attend, or are we just making this great Mexico news about America?

I mean you have to assume they’re talking about like the governor of Texas or something, but I’ve never heard of them attending before.

Guessing it is common for the state department to send a representative. Perhaps the Secretary of State since it’s an important neighbour. Since it’s campaign time, you could see others going if they believe it helps their reelection bid somehow ( though I don’t know how), but it would not be unusual if only the US ambassador to Mexico is present. I don’t know of any foreign politician that attend the US presidential inauguration.

Yeah I’m confused as to why that sentence was in the announcement.

Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??

Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico

Congratulations Mexico!

Edit: Well, hmm:

Either that or back deals with the cartels to ensure the same happened to the opposition, or not to the official candidate
