Trump is back in Washington, gearing up for his inauguration with events and a rally to rally his supporters
Washington: So, Trump is back in the capital for his inauguration. It’s his first full day since the election, and he’s got a bunch of events lined up to celebrate his return.
He’s really leaning into the whole “Make America Great Again” vibe, especially with the political climate being so divided. The city is all set up to keep things safe and secure this time around.
Unlike the chaos from a few years back when things got out of hand, officials aren’t expecting any major protests. Instead, they’re ready for crowds who are excited about Trump’s second term and the Republican Party’s direction.
It’s a big change from when he left in 2021, skipping the inauguration of Biden. Now, he’s back after winning the GOP primary and the election with a solid Electoral College win.
Even with that victory, Trump’s still a pretty divisive figure. He’s got a lot of fans, but just as many critics. So, it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the calls for unity in his inauguration speech.
He’s been posting on social media, saying he can’t wait for January 20th. He’s staying at Blair House, right across from the White House, after a party at his golf club.
He flew in from Florida on a military plane, which is pretty cool. Sunday is all about getting pumped up for the big day, with plans to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and then head to a rally downtown.
With the weather looking chilly, he’s moving some events indoors, but there will still be a parade of sorts. He’s also got a candlelight dinner planned where he’ll likely speak.
Meanwhile, Biden is wrapping up his time in office with a trip to South Carolina, reflecting on his journey to the presidency. He’s also honoring Martin Luther King Jr. on the federal holiday.
