President Joe Biden indicated he would attend Donald Trump’s inauguration if the former president wins a second term in November.

‘I have good manners – not like him,’ Biden told reporters on the South Lawn before he left for New Orleans.

Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration in January 2021.

Biden also was asked about calling Trump a danger to American security, to which he responded: ‘That’s just a statement. That’s a factual statement.’

But he declined to discuss Ukraine’s incursion into Russia, noting: ‘I’d rather not comment on that publicly.’
