Meanwhile, more than 2,000 "No Kings Day" protests were held across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C., organizers said.

California was again at the center of a nationwide protest movement as “No Kings Day” rallies returned Saturday, Oct. 18, across the Golden State. More than 200 communities hosted marches, vigils, and rallies from Crescent City to El Centro, echoing the massive turnout at similar events this summer. Back in June, the first “No Kings Day” coincided with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and Trump’s birthday, drawing over 5 million people nationwide—one of the largest coordinated protests since Trump’s second term began.

Organizers estimated that larger crowds showed up at the October events than in the summer. If crowd estimates hold, the one-day "No Kings" event was the largest civil action in the United States since the first Earth Day, 55 years ago. Two of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet secretaries, along with some congressional Republicans, have accused Democrats of prolonging the two-week-old government shutdown for the sake of the "No Kings" mass protests.

"They have a 'hate America' rally that's scheduled for October 18," Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana said on Fox News. "It's all the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people; they are all coming out."
