President-elect Donald Trump took a victory lap on Sunday night, telling his supporters at a campaign-style rally that his first day in office will come with a flurry of executive actions to fulfill his 2024 campaign promises.
The president-elect’s comments came at the Capital One Arena in Washington, where supporters and incoming administration officials gathered for a final celebration of his win over Vice President Kamala Harris before Trump is sworn in at noon Monday.
Here are the key things to know:
• “It’s all going to be released”: Trump pledged to release all the classified records connected to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., as well as “other topics of great public interest.”
• “TikTok is back”: Trump took credit for TikTok coming back online hours after the app shut itself down in response to a new law banning it in the US. “As of today, TikTok is back,” Trump said, as he bragged about how many of his young supporters used the app owned by a Chinese company.
• “Fun watching television tomorrow”: Trump previewed an aggressive push to implement executive actions on his first day in office, telling the crowd he’d rebuffed advisers who urged him to space out signing them over a period of weeks, rather than immediately after his inauguration.
• “Epic ceasefire agreement”: Though President Joe Biden is still in office, Trump claimed credit for a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas to free Israeli hostages, claiming that “this agreement could only have happened as a result of our historic victory in November.”
• “We will rebuild Los Angeles”: Trump said he will visit California on Friday to survey the damage caused by devastating wildfires that have killed at least 27 people.
