New Year Eve: Trump heads to Washington for New Year, bails on planned party unexpectedly
According
to an updated daily programme published by the White House, the U.S. President
Donald Trump and First Lady Melania unexpectedly changed their schedule to
spend New Year’s Eve in Washington, bailing on a planned party in Florida. The
two were to leave Florida on Thursday morning.
Trump
will, therefore, not be present at the New Year’s party at his Mar-a-Lago club
resort, which guests had bought tickets to, U.S. media reported.
An
explanation for the early departure was not provided by the White House. Trump
has declined to accept his Democratic opponent's electoral win, Joe Biden, and
his party has filed scores of lawsuits seeking to reverse the election outcome,
but all of which have been dismissed.
Both
eyes are now on Jan. 6, as Congress is expected to certify the results sent by
the states to the Electoral College, the next move on Biden's path to being sworn
in at the Capitol Building in Washington on Jan. 20 as the 46th president.
