WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Former first lady Michelle Obama will skip the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, the second time in two weeks that she is not attending a gathering of former U.S. leaders and their spouses, but former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will be there.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is in attendance at Trump’s inauguration, his wife, former second lady Karen, is not. Karen Pence snubbed the Trumps earlier this month at Carter’s funeral, where she ignored Melania Trump’s efforts to shake her hand.

Michelle Obama was the only spouse absent from the service last week at Washington National Cathedral, where her husband and Trump were seated next to each other and chatted and laughed like old friends despite the history of political animosity between the Democratic former president and the returning Republican.
