Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, her spokesperson confirmed, without providing a reason. Pelosi  attended his 2017 swearing-in as leader of House Democrats and later oversaw two impeachments against him during his presidency. Pelosi recently underwent hip replacement surgery after injuring herself on a December trip to Luxembourg and was seen using a walker in the Capitol earlier this month. She stepped down from leadership after the 2022 midterm elections. Pelosi accused Trump of inciting ongoing violence, citing her husband's 2022 hammer attack as an example of the repercussions.
