Even with a capacity halved by freezing weather in the nation’s capital, Valley politicos attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration, with Kevin McCarthy bookending a trio of Republican former House Speakers.

The 24 degrees and 31 mph wind gusts in Washington D.C. encouraged Trump to hold the event in the Capitol Rotunda, reducing capacity from 1,600 invitees to 750, NPR reported.

Celebrities, sports stars and many from the technology world attended as did foreign dignitaries from countries of varying support for U.S. policy. Vice President of the People’s Republic of China Han Zheng attended as did Argentinian President Javier Milei.

McCarthy, Costa Only Separated by a Few Seats

While some Democratic leaders no-showed, Rep. Jim Costa (D-Fresno) appeared a few seats behind McCarthy. Rep. Adam Gray (D-Merced) also attended, according to a spokesperson from his staff.

McCarthy appeared beside former Speaker of the House John Boehner, who sat beside Newt Gingrich. All three served during Democratic presidencies, with Gingrich and Boehner foils for former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, respectively. McCarthy served just short of nine months as speaker during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
