US president, in an address to thousands of supporters in Washington DC, has claimed that he won the 2020 presidential election.

Iran PressAmerica: Thousands of US President Donald Trump’s supporters are in Washington for rallies Wednesday to assert that the presidential election was stolen from him. Many in attendance see the demonstrations as a last stand for Trump on the same day that Congress votes to certify that President-elect Joe Biden won the election.

 

A permit issued by the National Park Service this week indicates that organizers expect about 30,000 people to attend, The Washington Post reported.

Trump — who lost the popular and electoral college vote — continues to dispute the results, without evidence, and has encouraged his supporters to attend the rallies in the nation’s capital. DC Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) asked residents to stay away.

Trump took the stage about noon after praising those on Twitter in recent days who were echoing his inaccurate version of events in claiming victory in the November election.
