Trump holds victory rally in Washington ahead of inauguration

By Steve Holland and Tim Reid

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump will take a victory lap on Sunday with a campaign-style rally in Washington, D.C., a day before he is sworn in for a second term four years after losing the White House to Joe Biden.

Trump's "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" - scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT) at the Capital One Arena - marks his first major speech in Washington since he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in protest against his defeat.

Thousands of people breached the building in an unsuccessful effort to prevent Congress from certifying the results.
