The president-elect and future first lady will meet with President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the White House for a traditional transfer-of-power meeting Friday before the official inauguration ceremony begins at 11:30 a.m. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is scheduled to administer the oath of office.

{mosads}At least 60 Democratic House members are boycotting the inauguration of Trump, who enters office with historically low approval ratings, according to multiple polls.

A new survey out Thursday reported that most Americans believe the ceremony will be a partisan affair aimed at Trump’s fans.
