DC news, Washington news.

In support of Trump, crowds of demonstrators holding flags and signs flooded the Capital's streets hours before the Congress joint session to certify the 2020 election results.

Scores of MAGA supporters have already gathered yesterday at several sites across Washington DC like at Freedom Plaza, Supreme Court, and BLM Plaza to call for results overturn and voice support for Trump.

Clashes have been reported between the protesters and cops with two arrests made on firearms and unauthorized driving charges.

  • In the meanwhile, President Trump took to Twitter to let his fans know that they are “heard and loved” from the Oval Office and he will hold a “Save America Rally” at 11 a.m. Wednesday near White House.

    “Washington is being inundated with people who don’t want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats,” Trump said.

    “I hope the Democrats, and even more importantly, the weak and ineffective RINO section of the Republican Party, are looking at the thousands of people pouring into D.C. They won’t stand for a landslide election to be stolen.”
