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

While attending Inauguration Day festivities, he fired off two posts on X.
“Today is about teamwork in every way. Fists and unity. Honored to be here. God bless America,” he wrote.
He added: “Any American who does not support Trump after this speech simply hates America and does not want what is best for this country and the world.”
Paul was in Washington, D.C., with his brother Logan and UFC star Conor McGregor. He posted a photo of the group on X as well.

The boxer insisted that God “intervened and saved” Trump from the assassination attempt that occurred on July 13, and said it was a signal to restore him to office.
“And I won’t even say, ‘They’re Democratic-Republicans,’ he added. ‘What does it matter? They’re the people running the government now, and the path they were leading us down would be disastrous and terrible.’ In July.
“And I think God really stepped in, saying, ‘We need this man now. Everyone must change their positions. We can’t have a close election – we need a landslide victory. ‘We need this man to come back and make America great again.'”
