Gov. Baker's Inauguration Schedule Includes Stop At VP-Elect's Indiana Inaugural Ball

WASHINGTON, DC — Gov. Charlie Baker, who cast his vote for neither President-elect Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton, is en route to Washington, D.C., for this week's inaugural festivities.

On his schedule is attendance at the Indiana Inaugural Ball described by organizers to MassLive as a black tie event, "an elegant candlelit evening of dinner and dancing" complete with "strolling strings" and a "sumptuous" meal, according to MassLive.

Baker attends at the invited guest of Vice President-elect Mike Pence, formerly governor of Indiana, MassLive reports.
