House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday explained the rationale for why there will be a small inauguration next week.

“For a long time now, weeks, it has been determined that we would have a very small inauguration because of COVID,” Pelosi told reporters during Friday’s press conference, referring to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. She added that “in order to have the distancing and the rest on the platform and then some people down below, it would be necessary to limit it.”
