Trump plans competing rally on Inauguration Day: report

President Donald Trump is planning to overshadow President-elect Joe Biden on Inauguration Day by skipping the event and holding an opposing political rally, sources familiar with discussions told Axios.

The “made-for-TV grand finale,” Alayna Treene of Axios writes, will reportedly feature “a White House departure on Marine One and final Air Force One flight to Florida for a political rally opposite Joe Biden’s inauguration” on January 20.

Citing three people familiar with discussions, NBC News first reported on Tuesday that Trump is considering using this rally to launch a 2024 presidential bid, an idea that has been circulating around the rumor mill for a few weeks now. While nothing has reportedly been decided yet, NBC notes that Trump could announce a campaign earlier than January 20.

Meanwhile, Trump has refused to concede the election to Biden as he and his supporters continue to launch legal challenges against the results in certain states, alleging election fraud. So far, his challenges have failed to change the winner in any states.

Simultaneously, Biden is well under way in selecting the members of his incoming administration.

Only three presidents in U.S. history have skipped the inauguration ceremony of their successor: John Adams in 1801, John Quincy Adams in 1829, and Andrew Johnson in 1869. Like each of these instances, Trump skipping Biden’s swearing-in ceremony would follow a contentious presidential election.

Search Warrants Served at AZ Nonprofit in Connection to 2020 ‘Ballot Trafficking Election Scandal’

Search warrants were served to an employee at a Yuma, Arizona nonprofit organization in connection to illegal ballot trafficking.

The ballot trafficking scheme was investigated in True The Vote and Dinesh D’Souza’s recent documentary “2000 Mules.” The documentary makes the claim that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen by illegal ballot trafficking done through nonprofit organizations.

The ballot trafficking scheme was discovered by residents in Yuma County, and the documentary features the undercover investigative work of David Lara and Arizona State Senate candidate Gary Snyder as well as the investigations of Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips.

“18 months ago, we knew that when the full story was told about Yuma County, Arizona, it would reveal systematic, systemic, ballot trafficking, with connections that spread nationwide. It’s now happening, thankfully with law enforcement fully engaged. Much more remains to be revealed in the days ahead,” said Catherine Engelbrecht to the Gateway Pundit.

Sources tell The Gateway Pundit a group from Phoenix with the Attorney General’s office executed the search warrants. Additionally, The Gateway Pundit reports:

The nonprofit facilities were not raided. However, Tony Reyes, the Executive Director of Comité de Bien Estar, confirmed to The Gateway Pundit that Comité de Bien Estar’s Membership Coordinator, Gloria Torres received search warrants at the nonprofit office, and law enforcement is looking for evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.

“That 2000 Mule Documentary is starting to permeate all throughout this process,” said Reyes.He then confirmed that officers showed up to the office, “confiscated her phone, and basically went to her house.”

Tony Reyes is also the current Chairman of the Yuma County Board of Supervisors and they run the elections in Yuma County.

Gloria Torres is a current San Luis City Council Member and Gadsden Elementary School District Board member who faced a recall effort last year stemming from her political ties to Gadsden Elementary School Board member Guillermina Fuentes.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Fuentes, who serves on the San Luis School District Board, was indicted with four class four felonies of Forgery and Conspiracy and ballot abuse in the 2020 Elections.
