Washington — President-elect Donald Trump will hold a rally-type event on Jan. 19 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., just ahead of his inauguration, according to multiple sources familiar with the planning.
Capital One Arena, home of the Washington Wizards basketball team and Washington Capitals hockey team, can hold approximately 20,000 attendees. The "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. ET, according to a sign-up link from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
Trump is set to be sworn into a second term in office on Jan. 20.
The man who plowed a truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans on New Year's Day posted audio recordings online in early 2024 expressing his religious beliefs and describing music as the "voice of Satan." He made no mention, however, of plans for violence or affiliations with extremist groups in the recordings.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and other federal agencies have warned about the risk of "copycat or retaliatory attacks" after a man drove a rented pickup truck through a crowd of New Year's revelers on New Orleans' Bourbon Street, killing 14 people before he was shot dead in a firefight with police.
