Your support makes all the difference.Donald Trump is reportedly planning to hold a rally the day before he will be inaugurated for the second time.
The president-elect will hold the event at 3 p.m. January 19 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C, according to CBS News.
On Wednesday, Trump joined other world leaders in expressing solidarity with the people of New Orleans, following a suspected terror attack in the city’s French Quarter. However, in his online post, he seized on false claims suggesting an immigrant was responsible. Law enforcement officials said the suspect is a U.S. citizen and Army veteran.
Meanwhile, one person was killed and seven others injured when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the president-elect’s hotel in Las Vegas.
Authorities are investigating the explosion as a possible act of terror. Law enforcement discovered fireworks-style mortars in the Cybertruck but a motive is not yet known.
The night before, Trump closed out 2024 next to Elon Musk — the founder of Tesla — as his allies and elements of the MAGA coalition continue to feud with the world’s wealthiest man over support for skilled immigrant workers.

This state attorney general says he will be ‘the first to sue’ if Trump touches birthright citizenship
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong is the son of immigrants who came to the United States from China and Taiwan.
He is the first member of his family to have been born in the U.S. and the first Asian American to be elected to statewide office in Connecticut.
If Trump tries to end birthright citizenship, despite the 14th Amendment enshrining a right of citizenship to people who are born in the country, Tong tells NBC News he will be “the first to sue.”
Tong is among roughly two dozen Democratic attorneys general on the frontline legal defense against Trump’s threats to immigration rights, among other likely targets in the incoming administration.
