Thousands gathered Saturday in Washington in support of President Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud that stole the victory for Joseph R. Biden.
But fights between pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators broke out around the downtown area after dark, with four people being stabbed and rushed to hospitals. The Metropolitan Police Department said officers arrested 23 people.
Saturday marked a return for the Million MAGA March and the March for Trump, both of which had drawn thousands of participants to Washington last month. Few of the pro-Trump wore masks in accordance with the D.C. government’s protocols to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Thousands gathered Saturday in Washington in support of President Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud that stole the victory for Joseph R. Biden.
But fights between pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators broke out around the downtown area after dark, with four people being stabbed and rushed to hospitals. The Metropolitan Police Department said officers arrested 23 people.
Saturday marked a return for the Million MAGA March and the March for Trump, both of which had drawn thousands of participants to Washington last month. Few of the pro-Trump wore masks in accordance with the D.C. government’s protocols to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Participants are scheduled to hear speeches from South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Georgia Rep. Vernon Jones, retired Gen. Mike Flynn, Virginia Congressman-elect Bob Good and North Carolina Congressman-elect Madison Cawthorn.
The Million MAGA March permit request was submitted by a person named Alex Stovall, who is allowed to gather up to 500 people at the Sylvan Theater and “related turf” from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Although the “permit does not authorize a march,” the group’s Facebook page host posted that speakers will begin at 11 a.m. and “[o]nce concluded, we will march to Freedom Plaza, then to the United States Capitol.”
