A wide array of far-right groups and Trump supporters are planning to descend on the nation’s capital Saturday amid heightened tensions over the results of the presidential election.
The mix of demonstrators gathering in downtown Washington, D.C., where they’ll be met with counterprotesters, is sparking fears that the events could turn violent.
The main rally — known by various unofficial names such as the Million MAGA March, Stop the Steal DC and March for Trump — appears focused on showing an outpouring of support for President Trump as he refuses to concede the race to President-elect Joe Biden, citing unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud.
While organizers and right-wing figures in the media and at the White House have predicted a massive turnout, similar events during Trump’s presidency have fizzled out.
Fox News host Sean Hannity, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Trump have all promoted the rally.
