See which Mass. lawmakers will attend Trump’s inauguration

This year, Inauguration falls on a a federal holiday: Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Here’s the list of who is attending, and what, if any, comments they made about their decision.

Senator Ed Markey: Will instead be attending the Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast and celebrating King’s legacy, according to a spokesperson.

Bourne Representative Bill Keating: “I attended President Trump’s first inauguration, and I respect that he won the 2024 election. However, I cannot condone his Inauguration Day promise to pardon those who committed crimes at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. My decision to not attend the inauguration is out of respect for the men and women of the Capitol Police who were attacked at the very site of the inauguration itself while protecting Members of Congress and the peaceful transfer of power.”

Boston Representative Ayanna Pressley: “I plan to spend the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in my district at community events that feed our collective soul and re-commit us to building a future rooted in love. As we prepare to mitigate the most harmful and hateful policy decisions that will come from the Trump White House, I will be in the Massachusetts 7th to help organize and mobilize our collective power that honors Dr. King’s vision of justice and equity for everyone who calls Massachusetts and America home.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren

Newton Representative Jake Auchincloss: “Yes I do [plan to attend], as a mark of respect for the great American tradition of the peaceful transfer of power,” Auchincloss recently told CNN. “The largest city in my district, Fall River, voted for Donald Trump. And I owe those constituents representation at that monumental event.”

Boston Representative Stephen Lynch: “I do plan to attend the inauguration out of respect for the Office [of the president] and the integrity of our electoral process,” said Boston Representative Stephen Lynch.
