Trump brings in record $250 million in fundraising

China's Vice President Han Zheng had meetings on Sunday with Vice President-elect JD Vance and Tesla CEO Elon Musk in Washington D.C. ahead of the inauguration on Monday, according to the Xinhua news agency.

The meetings came after President-elect Donald Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the ceremony, but the Chinese leader sent Han in his place.

"Han Zheng first delivered President Xi Jinping's greetings to Trump's election as president and congratulated Vance on his election," Xinhua reported.

During his meeting with Musk, Han reportedly "welcomed Tesla and other U.S. companies to seize opportunities, share in the benefits of China's development, and make new and greater contributions" to trade relations between the two nations, according to Xinhua.

Trump’s supporters traveled from across the country to celebrate his victory Sunday, waiting for hours in the rain and cold to enter the Capital One Arena in Washington. But tonight, Trump is not rallying on the campaign trail -- he’s facing supporters who have high expectations for what he’ll accomplish.

Supporters here tell us they expect Trump to quickly bring down the cost of goods, close the border, and end the wars overseas.

Darrin Cummings, a 19-year-old, said he traveled to D.C. to witness the “greatest comeback in American history,” saying his top priority is for Trump to end the war in Ukraine.

A group of women who traveled from North Carolina said they have “very high expectations” that Trump will return their lives to how they remember things were four years ago: cheaper and more peaceful.

A crowd of Trump fans even traveled from Canada, telling me they are hopeful that Trump can also “make Canada great again.”

Trump will now have to deal with the day-to-day burden of delivering on promises, while also responding to crises at home and around the world.

At an inauguration eve rally, Trump promised drastic changes over the next four years.

“Tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride,” he told an estimated 20,000 people at his Make America Great Again Victory Rally in Washington.

In his speech, Trump touched on many of the issues that he campaigned on.

“We're going to end the reign of a failed and corrupt political establishment in Washington, a failed administration. We're not going to take it anymore,” he said. “We're going to stop the invasion of our borders. We're going to reclaim our wealth. We're going to unlock the liquid gold that's right under our feet. Liquid gold. We're going to bring back law and order to our cities. We're going to restore patriotism to our schools, get radical left woke ideologies the hell out of our military and out of our government.”

Trump is marking his historic political comeback to the White House with a signature "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington on Sunday, bringing together more than 20,000 supporters to the nation's capital ahead of Inauguration Day.
The rally is being held at Capital One Arena, mirroring the Madison Square Garden rally he held in New York City last October, which served as his closing remarks to American voters a week before Election Day in November.

The Sunday rally is a move to pay a special tribute to the major role big arena rallies have played in all three of Trump's presidential bids to galvanize his supporters and to carry that campaign spirit into his second-term presidency.
