Watch: Donald Trump’s final speech before inauguration

 Donald Trump Inauguration Day: When and where to watch 

On the eve of his inauguration, US President-elect Donald Trump held a final rally to celebrate his election victory, proclaiming to the crowd, “We won,” as they rejoiced in his return to the White House.

 Supporters filled nearly all of the 20,000-plus-seat Capital One Arena to attend the event.   “Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country. We have to do it,” Trump told his supporters.            

 Others taking the stage included Stephen Miller, Trump’s pick to be deputy chief of staff, Elon Musk who is also Trump’s pick for Department of Government Efficiency, Steve Witkoff, special envoy to the Middle East among others.

Donald Trump has invited a number of tech titans to attend the inauguration, joining more traditional guests such as his cabinet nominees. Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg will attend as will Shou Chew, the head of Chinese social media giant TikTok, according to US media.

Trump has courted closer ties with the tech moguls, and his campaign benefited from disinformation spread on social media platforms such as TikTok, Musk’s X and Zuckerberg’s Facebook and Instagram.

Outgoing president Joe Biden will attend the ceremony — despite Trump’s refusal to appear at Biden’s swearing-in when he beat Trump in 2020. All living former presidents — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama — will also attend, as will their wives, except for Michelle Obama.

Heads of state are not traditionally invited, but Trump has sent invitations to a handful of foreign leaders, including some who share his right-wing politics.  Far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will attend, her office confirmed Saturday.

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Argentine President Javier Milei and China’s Xi Jinping have also been invited, but not all will attend. Xi sent Vice President Han Zheng in his place, who met Sunday with J.D. Vance, the transition office said.
