A growing surge of House Democrats – mostly from safe districts won by Hillary Clinton – have announced their intentions to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration, many to protest his lingering feud with Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Lewis, who last week said Trump was not a legitimate president, is “all talk” and “no action,” Trump declared on Twitter over the weekend.

So far, at least 63 Democrats say they will be skipping the ceremony. But Democratic leaders still plan to attend the inauguration, and no senators have announced they will sit the ceremony out.
