Boxing star Jake Paul was among those who attended Donald Trump’s inauguration at the Capitol Rotunda on Monday.
Paul became a strong supporter of the president while he campaigned against Vice President Kamala Harris and defeated her in the November election. The boxing star also celebrated Trump’s victory in November, saying “truth and God have won in America.”

“And I think God really stepped in, like ‘we need this guy now. Everyone needs to switch sides. We can’t have a close election – we need a landslide. We We need this guy to come back and make America great again.’ Again.'”
