Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) plans to attend New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s (R) inaugural speech on Tuesday, his office confirmed to TPM despite the fact that Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) will not.

Booker’s office told TPM earlier on Tuesday that the junior New Jersey senator wouldn’t attend.

Christie does not plan to address questions about the George Washington Bridge scandal in the speech. Instead, the New Jersey governor will focus on how New Jersey can become a more bipartisan and inclusive state.
