Trump supporters rally at Utah Capitol amid D.C. protests

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — People waving Trump flags and holding “Stop the Steal” signs rallied at the Utah Capitol Wednesday ahead of Congress’ expected vote to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. The crowd of about 200 people crowded around a television monitor on the steps of the Capitol in Salt Lake City to watch the president give a speech promoting his baseless claims of election fraud at a rally in Washington, D.C. The majority of protestors were not wearing masks or abiding by social distancing guidelines. Election officials from both political parties and Trump’s former attorney general have said there was no widespread fraud in the election.
