United in snub? Obama, Clinton, Bush refuse to attend Donald Trump's inaugural luncheon
Former presidents Obama, Clinton, and Bush will attend Donald Trump's inauguration but will not join the traditional luncheon. The tradition started in 1897, but deviations have occurred before. Trump, who did not attend Biden's inauguration, did not comment on the decline. Former first ladies, except Michelle Obama, are expected at the swearing-in ceremony.
