Rep. Ilhan Omar will skip Trump inauguration to attend MLK Day events. Other Minnesotans expected to attend

“The Presidential inauguration will take place on MLK Day, which is a day I’ve always spent at community gatherings,” McCollum said in a statement. “My time would be better spent with my constituents rather than traveling back and forth between Minnesota and Washington to attend the inauguration for just a few hours.”

Minnesota’s four Republican members of Congress backed Trump’s 2024 White House bid and all four plan to attend.
