President Donald Trump is vowing that “we will never concede” as he speaks to supporters shortly before Congress is to convene for a joint session to confirm the Electoral College vote won by President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump took the stage at the Save America rally, which drew thousands of supporters who swamped the nation’s capital as the president’s Republican allies in the House and Senate plan to object to his November election loss to Biden.
Thousands of People Expected at ‘Save America March’ on Second Day of DC Rallies
Thousands of people supporting President Donald Trump remained in the nation’s capital on Wednesday to rally against the Electoral College results and alleged election fraud.
Trump announced on Twitter he is personally going to address supporters during the rally dubbed “Save America” an event organized by “Women for America First,” a pro-Trump group on the Ellipse, a park located south of the White House.
“I will be speaking at the SAVE AMERICA RALLY tomorrow on the Ellipse at 11 a.m. Eastern,” the president wrote. “Arrive early doors open at 7 a.m. Eastern. BIG CROWDS!”
The U.S. Capitol Police said it was evacuated areas near the building as pro-Trump protesters stormed barricades set up outside the perimeter, and law enforcement officers were seen trying to push them back.
The Library of Congress, located directly across the street from the main Capitol building, was evacuated and people were told to remain calm and move in a safe manner to the exits.
Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., tweeted that she had to evacuate her congressional office because a pipe bomb was reported outside the Capitol. Supporters of the President are trying to force their way into the Capitol and I can hear what sounds like multiple gunshots, Luria tweeted.
