President Donald Trump says he won’t attend President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration on Jan. 20.

In a tweet Friday morning, Trump announced:

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th."

He did not indicate what he would be doing instead on that day.

Reuters, citing unnamed sources, said he is expected to head to Florida a day before Inauguration Day.

The move would make Trump the first incumbent president since Andrew Johnson to skip his successors inauguration.

Vice President Mike Pence reportedly will make an appearance at the inauguration.
