I might have missed something...

But why is Amy Klobuchar standing with Trump at the swear-in and in the oval office?? Again, forgive me if it's already been addressed.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar led the proceedings for President Donald Trump's inauguration. This sight may have surprised some since Klobuchar is a Democrat. So why was she involved in Trump's inauguration?

Klobuchar was involved in Trump's swearing-in ceremony since she is the Chair of the bipartisan and bicameral Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies for the 60th Presidential Inauguration.

Due to her position as chair, Klobuchar also spoke at former President Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony in 2021.
