Dubbed the “Make America Great Again Victory Rally,” the rally will take place at 3 pm ET on Monday at the Capital One Arena.
President-elect Donald Trump's campaign-style rally in Washington, D.C., on Sunday is set to kick off inaugural celebrations, one day before he begins his second term as president after a four-year absence. Dubbed the "Make America Great Again Victory Rally," the rally will take place at 3 pm ET at the Capital One Arena and is expected to mirror the high-energy speeches that have been a staple of Trump’s political style since his 2016 campaign.
Thousands could be seen on the streets of the nation's capital on Sunday, though the inauguration was moved inside after warnings of inclement weather.
