Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won't attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?

Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!

Also, is it normal for them to attend, or are we just making this great Mexico news about America?

Guessing it is common for the state department to send a representative. Perhaps the Secretary of State since it’s an important neighbour. Since it’s campaign time, you could see others going if they believe it helps their reelection bid somehow ( though I don’t know how), but it would not be unusual if only the US ambassador to Mexico is present. I don’t know of any foreign politician that attend the US presidential inauguration.
