Mitch didn't wait for his wife and just walked into the building. LOL

Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao just arrived at the Inauguration. Mitch got out of the car and just booked it straight into the building. He didn't wait for his wife, who was getting out the other side of the car and went into the building after him. LOL.

The Obamas and the Clintons each walked into the building together.

Update: Joe Biden waited for his wife.
