Earlier we told you that President Elect Donald Trump may as well be sworn into office right now, because he's already playing the part of world leader in France today for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The handshakes and body language when Trump met Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyy (who decided not to dress for the occasion) spoke volumes.
Trump also met other world leaders at the reopening and set the stage for the next four years:

As for President Biden, yesterday Karine Jean-Pierre said that he had a "scheduling conflict" and wouldn't be attending the cathedral reopening in France, and apparently the White House doesn't care how that looks:
I know we're long past any more assumptions that Joe Biden is still acting in charge of anything, but it seems weird that our devout Catholic president is not attending this re-opening alongside other world leaders. https://t.co/JPux7bjvp8

There is representation from the Biden family in France today, just not from Joe:

Maybe Joe stayed behind to help prepare a whole bunch of "preemptive pardons" or something.
This picture says it all: Jill Biden was running the show instead of Joe. https://t.co/k3w7W46MNG

It appears they've given up even trying to hide that fact now.
Ashley and Jill Biden are at the Notre Dame Cathedral with the Macrons.

Where's Joe? Why is Ashley there? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/lAjm0Folhd
Everybody has the same question...
Where is Joe Biden?

We have no idea.
Joe probably went to Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana.
