Trump brings in record $250 million in fundraising

At an inauguration eve rally, Trump promised drastic changes over the next four years.

“Tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride,” he told an estimated 20,000 people at his Make America Great Again Victory Rally in Washington.

In his speech, Trump touched on many of the issues that he campaigned on.

“We're going to end the reign of a failed and corrupt political establishment in Washington, a failed administration. We're not going to take it anymore,” he said. “We're going to stop the invasion of our borders. We're going to reclaim our wealth. We're going to unlock the liquid gold that's right under our feet. Liquid gold. We're going to bring back law and order to our cities. We're going to restore patriotism to our schools, get radical left woke ideologies the hell out of our military and out of our government.”

Trump is marking his historic political comeback to the White House with a signature "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington on Sunday, bringing together more than 20,000 supporters to the nation's capital ahead of Inauguration Day.
The rally is being held at Capital One Arena, mirroring the Madison Square Garden rally he held in New York City last October, which served as his closing remarks to American voters a week before Election Day in November.

The Sunday rally is a move to pay a special tribute to the major role big arena rallies have played in all three of Trump's presidential bids to galvanize his supporters and to carry that campaign spirit into his second-term presidency.

Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and two Gold Star family members paid their respects in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday.

As a fine mist fell on attendees, Trump placed the first wreath on a stand before Vance placed the second. A woman placed the third wreath and the final one was laid by a man on crutches who appeared to have lost his right arm and left leg.

Trump saluted as the changing of the guard took place and Vance placed his hand over his heart.

Trump's team has drafted a list of potential pardons for Jan. 6 defendants to issue on Day 1, sources familiar with the matter say.

The pardons could come very soon after Trump is sworn in. One option that has been discussed is to issue these pardons inside the Capitol, a move that carries some ominous symbolism given the assaults on officers that day by many rioters seeking to overturn the 2020 election.

The plan for these pardons is still very fluid, as Trump himself indicated to ABC News’ Rachel Scott on Saturday, and the extent of the list is not clear.

Trump wouldn't commit to pardons on Day 1, but told Scott they would be coming "very shortly."
