As the joint session of Congress hears the House and Senate Electoral College objections Wednesday, thousands of revelers will be in Washington, D.C., protesting voter and election fraud.

And President Donald Trump vows to be there for it.

Trump tweeted Sunday in response to the "Stop the Steal" rally:

"I will be there. Historic day!"

Groups of Republicans in the House and Senate are planning to voice objections to the Electoral College, setting up debate in both chambers on whether to certify the election results for Joe Biden.

The planned protests will be objecting to the Trump campaign allegations of voter and election fraud, including Democrat-led pushes circumventing states' election laws with rushed mass mail-in balloting.

Demonstrations are planned at the Washington Monument, the Freedom Plaza, and the Capitol. The right-wing group Proud Boys has vowed to be in the crowd to protect against violent, destructive, leftist counter-protests that roiled America during the presidential election year, CNBC reported.
