Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar will speak at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Klobuchar is the chair of the bipartisan joint congressional committee, a role she started in May.
Klobuchar said she has worked the past four years across the board to improve Capitol security, including for large events like the inauguration.
She said she has planned to speak at the inauguration for about a year. She said she was excited for the opportunity, no matter the candidate.
“I would have been speaking if the Democrats won or the Republicans won, that’s my job. And I have a committee that I chair made up of the speaker of the House and the Democratic leaders, and we approach this in a bipartisan way from the very beginning,” Klobuchar said.
She said she has played a key role in planning the congressional lunch and making sure there is a strong security plan in place.
