President-elect Donald Trump announced he will hold a "victory rally" Jan. 19, a day before his inauguration, in Washington D.C.'s Capital One arena. But as 2025 kicks off with two terrorist attacks in different U.S. cities, law enforcement officers worry the rally could pose a great danger to the new administration and attendees.

The arena set to hold the rally, home of the Washington Wizards basketball team and Washington Capitals hockey team, can hold approximately 20,000 attendees. The rally, which is being dubbed as the "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" is scheduled for kick off at 3 p.m. ET, according to a sign-up link from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
