Reports: Pence to attend Biden's inauguration

• Pence has served as a loyal lieutenant and ally of Trump during his presidency.
• But Trump banned the vice president's chief of staff from the White House last Wednesday after Pence rejected intense pressure to violate the Constitution to deny Biden his office.

Of note: Biden told reporters Friday that Pence would be "welcome" to attend and "we'd be honored to have him there, and to move forward in the transition," CNN notes.

• "It's important that as much as we can stick to what have been the historical precedents of how an administration changes should be maintained," Biden said.
• Pence's representatives did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
