Trump visits Arlington National Cemetery
Mr. Trump is expected to pay a visit to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia — his first to the hallowed military cemetery since last year, when he appeared for a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of the 13 U.S. service members killed in a suicide bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. During that visit, a member of Mr. Trump’s staff pushed an Arlington official who was trying to stop the campaign from filming in a heavily restricted area of the cemetery, according to Army officials. Political campaigning is not permitted at the graves of military service members.
Rally and a candlelit dinner with supporters
Later on Sunday, the president-elect is scheduled to hold a major rally at Capital One Arena — which sits several blocks from the National Mall in Washington — for his supporters, the first such event in the nation’s capital that Mr. Trump will address since his speech at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021.
Mr. Trump will also attend a candlelight dinner with supporters that evening.
