Trump Inauguration Sees MAGA Fans Boo Pence, Biden in Indoor Ceremony

During Donald Trump's inauguration at the Capital One Arena, former Vice President Mike Pence, along with Bill and Hillary Clinton, faced a hostile reception from the MAGA crowd, which chanted 'lock her up' at Clinton and called for Pence's execution. The inauguration was moved indoors due to freezing temperatures, allowing thousands of Trump supporters to congregate in the arena where they voiced their disdain for Democrats. Pence's tensions with Trump were highlighted, particularly over the January 6 Capitol attack and his refusal to overturn the 2020 election results, which led to him being booed more loudly than any Democrats present. Trump's inaugural address focused on aggressive policies, including a national emergency at the border and a call to seize the Panama Canal, while dismissing the legitimacy of the 2020 election. The event underscored the ongoing division within the Republican Party, as Pence's attempt to challenge Trump in the 2024 primaries ended in his withdrawal due to low support. The atmosphere at the arena reflected a clear alignment with Trump's confrontational style, leaving traditional conservatives like Pence out of favor.
