Donald Trump is set to address his supporters on the eve of his inauguration at a ‘Make America Great Again’ rally in Washington DC, marking the first major speech in the city since the Jan 6 insurrection.

The star studded rally, which is set to begin at 3pm in Washington DC, will see speeches from JD Vance, the vice president-elect, Elon Musk, the Tesla billionaire, and Dana White, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO, as well as musical performances from Kid Rock and The Village people.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is also slated to attend, amid claims Mr Trump will take steps to rescue the app from a US ban that took effect late yesterday evening.

Thousands of Trump’s supporters have waited in the cold and rain for hours to attend the rally. Lines of supporters, many wearing fancy dress and MAGA hats, snaked around the block long beforehand, with some chanting “USA! USA!” as they waited.
