President Barack Obama told reporters on Wednesday that he plans to attend Donald Trump's inauguration. But he didn't comment on the mounting list of Democratic lawmakers who say they plan to skip the festivities.

And I have been checking the weather and I'm heartened by the fact that it won't be as cold as my first inauguration, because that was cold."
