All three are seen in tuxedos at the black-tie affair, which is a slight departure from earlier in the day, when White spoke at Trump's 'Make America Great Again Victory Rally' at the Capital One Arena. 'Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon,' Trump's long-time supporter and friend began. 'I am honored to be here to celebrate President Trump's historic victory. He didn't just win this election. He won it in dominant fashion with record numbers of Americans from all walks of life.'.

White focused the early part of his speech on Trump's 312-226 electoral college victory over Kamala Harris and his 1.5-percent edge in the popular vote. 'Not only did he win the electoral college by 86 points, but President Trump was the first Republican candidate in 20 years to win the popular vote,' White continued. 'He also made tremendous gains among traditional Democrat voters by increasing his support with Latin, Asian-American, black and young voters.

A day ahead of Monday's closed-door ceremony in Washington DC , the country's once-and-future Commander in Chief is pictured alongside Rogan and White. 'So what does that tell us?' White asked, rhetorically. 'Democracy is alive and well in this country. And the people have spoke loud and clear: America wants President Trump back in the White House.'.
