Trump, his wife, Melania, and youngest son, Barron, embarked on their trip from West Palm Beach, Florida, to the U.S. Capitol, waving to crowds before ascending the steps. A few hours later, they landed in Sterling, Virginia, where Trump will host an evening reception and fireworks show at Trump National Golf Club.

On Sunday, the eve of his inauguration, Trump is scheduled to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery before heading to a rally at Capital One Arena in Washington. The rally will be followed by a private dinner.

Activists highlighted a range of issues, descending on the capital two days before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.
