Several pro-Trump rallies are scheduled in the District this week, drawing thousands of people to downtown D.C. from across the country. President Trump himself is expected to make an appearance Wednesday.
The March For Trump rally organized by the conservative women group Women For America First on Wednesday, Jan. 6, on the Ellipse Grounds is projecting about 5,000 Trump supporters to make their way to the nation’s capital.
Tuesday evening, the president tweeted that he would be speaking at the Save America Rally on the Ellipse at 11 a.m.
Several pre-event rallies took place Tuesday, and DC Police said two arrests were made during the first day of demonstrations (as of the afternoon). Charges included carrying a pistol and rifle without a license, possessing a high-capacity feeding device, unregistered ammunition, firearms, no permit while driving an unauthorized van, and controlling illegal fireworks.
Attendees rallying on Wednesday are holding the first amendment rally “to demand transparency and protect election integrity” on the same day Congress is set to approve the 2020 election results officially. This event comes after President Trump warned via Twitter that there would be a “massive” and “wild” protest on Jan. 6 after he refused to concede due to unfounded allegations of election fraud.
