6. Earlier this week, POLITICO surveyed 50 HOUSE Republicans and only 7 indicated they would attend.

Now that even the vast majority of elected representatives and Senators confirm they aren't attending, and the weather forecast is for rain and thunderstorms, I expect actual Parade attendance to be almost nonexistent. A reminder that Trump won only 6% of the vote in DC in November - a grand total of 21,076 votes in a city with a total voting age population of over 550,000. The residents of the city HATE him already. I absolutely believe they are trying to recruit and pay people to show up in the crowd.
