Well they won the election, but ...

... they still have Vice President Harris derangement syndrome.

There's a video going around (I won't link but easy to find if you want it) of Vice President Harris getting flustered and stuttering a bit while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. And huge amounts of insane RW fulmination about what this supposedly proves about her.

Trump Invited Chinese President Xi Jinping And Other World Leaders To Inauguration—Here’s Why That’s Unprecedented

If any foreign leaders do show up at the inaugural ceremony, it would be unprecedented.
State Department records dating back to 1874, when the first visit by a foreign leader took place, show no head of a foreign country has ever attended a presidential inauguration in the U.S., though CBS notes it’s common for lower-ranking foreign diplomats or ambassadors to show up.
Foreign leaders aren’t typically invited to inaugurations due to the large crowds and “security concerns,” officials told the Associated Press in 2009, when Barack Obama’s transition team declined to invite any heads of state to his inauguration, citing historical precedent.
