Pittsburghers Head To D.C. For Trump's Inauguration

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Close to 1 million people are expected to be in Washington, D.C. for Donald Trump's inauguration today.

Hours before the sun rose this morning, a group of Pittsburghers who supported Trump from the beginning waited to make the trip from Monroeville to see him sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

For some, witnessing an inauguration is a bucket list item, while others were simply excited to see history be made in person.

A few people on the bus worked on the campaign and received an invitation from Trump.

"Just after a whole year of working hard, literally days and days and hours, late nights and then seeing it actually unfold watching the election the entire night staying up biting my nails. As soon as we got Florida, I'm like, 'We got it.' And then, just going there now, it's exciting," Brandon Sabot said.

"It's the biggest accomplishment of my life. I mean, we did something that couldn't be done because we finally had someone who listen to the silent majority and that's why he won," Dana Robinson said.

It's a shared enthusiasm inside of the charter bus that left Monroeville at 3 a.m.

"Donald Trump making history, one of the few guys it's not politically connected that finally we have someone in office that's for the people," Joe Consolmagno said.
