PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Gabby Giffords will serve as grand marshal of the 134th Rose Parade next year.

The former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona will ride down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on Jan. 2. Giffords will be part of the coin flip for the 109th Rose Bowl game later that day.

Because Jan. 1 falls on a Sunday next year, the parade and game will be held on Monday in keeping with the Tournament of Roses' tradition of never having the events on a Sunday.

"I'm so honored to be grand master of the Rose Parade," Giffords said Thursday after being introduced on the lawn of Tournament House in Pasadena. She walked out to the Tom Petty song "I Won't Back Down."

Prepare for Reich wing meltdown in the echo chamber of the Reich wing. They’ll never watch it, they’ll boycott everyone supporting the parade. Also, here comes the, go woke go broke BS.
