The president’s early departure for Washington, DC, comes at a time when guests are expected to attend the annual New Year’s Eve gala in Mar-a-Lago, at which Trump made comments during the previous three years of his presidency, from according to The Hill.
“The president and the first lady will be leaving Florida for the White House tomorrow at 11 am,” said the schedule, according to a tweet posted by Francesca Chambers, a reporter for McClatchy.
No specific reason was given for the change in plans, the Associated Press reported.
The president and the first lady have been in Florida since December 23.
Trump has been concerned about the election and the coronavirus relief bill during this time.
SEN. HAWLEY HYPOCRITICAL DEMOCRATS ON THE OBJECTION OF ELECTORAL COUNTING, POINTS FOR THE BUSH RACE
On Wednesday, United States Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri announced that he planned to challenge Congress’s count of Electoral College votes next Wednesday that would confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Republican Party leaders in the Senate are against the effort to challenge Biden’s victory, with Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell acknowledging the former vice president’s victory and behind closed doors asking Senate Republicans to do not contest the election results.
But with Hawley joining the small group of House Republicans in the objection, the joint session of Congress next week would be dissolved and the House and Senate would meet separately for two hours to debate and vote on a contested electoral vote.
A state’s list of electoral votes would be released only if the House and Senate voted to do so.
