Donald Trump will host a victory rally a day before he is sworn in as president for the second time, an event that gives the president-elect wide latitude to stage a freewheeling spectacle before the more serious inauguration events.

Trump is slated to give remarks at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, on the afternoon of Jan. 19, according to a ticket reservation link on Trump’s inauguration website that was sent to supporters.
