To the victor goes the spoils. President-elect Donald Trump will host a mass rally for supporters in Washington, DC, the day before he is set to be inaugurated for a second term.
What is already dubbed a “victory rally” will be held at Capital One Arena on Jan. 19, according to an announcement from his inauguration committee sent out Wednesday and first reported by CBS News.
The “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET, according to a sign-up link from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
