The day following President Trumps inauguration, women descended on the nations capital in a show of strength supporting womens rights.

And the Womens March on Washington is drawing some big names: performers like Demi Lovato, Beyonce, Janelle Monae and Katy Perry are expected to be at the day-long march. But in addition to the bevy of celebrities marching and performing in Washington, the demonstration has also stacked up support from some prominent politicians.

Mr. Trumps general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, who attended the presidential inauguration Friday, sent a message of thanks to the protesters over Twitter:

Freshman Sen. Kamala Harris of California spoke passionately at the pre-march rally in Washington Saturday.

We know that it is right for this nation to fight for womens issues, Harris told a swelling crowd at the National Mall. She went on to promise to defend womens issues -- policy areas that Harris emphasized included economic concerns, national security, healthcare, criminal justice reform, and climate change.

Lets make today a beginning, Harris said. Lets buckle in, because its going to be a bumpy ride.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand tweeted about attending the march in Washington, saying she was doing it to stand up for womens rights & civil rights:

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota participated in the Washington march as well, even greeting some demonstrators from her home state wearing pink so-called pussyhats.

Also on the social media platform, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California promoted similar #WomensMarch events happening in her home state and linking to a list of the sister marches around the world:

In Boston, progressive firebrand Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, spoke during the demonstrations scheduled program, slamming President Trump and his campaign rhetoric about women and minorities.

Of Mr. Trumps inauguration, Warren scathingly joked: That sight is now burned into my eyes forever.

She urged protesters to use the Trump presidency as fuel for their fiery protest actions.

We will not forget. We do not want to forget. We will use that vision to make sure that we fight harder, that we fight tougher and we fight more passionately than ever, Warren declared. Im here to fight back!

In St. Louis, Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat and top Clinton supporter during the campaign, was spotted marching:

At least a couple male Senate colleagues showed his support for the womens march: Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey was seen in the crowd Saturday.

And Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Clintons former running mate for the White House, tweeted his own encouraging message, declaring himself a strong man proud to stand behind strong women:

One Obama administration official, former Secretary of State John Kerry, took advantage of his first day off by joining the march:

While Donald Trump was being inaugurated at America's 45th president, his Democratic opponent in the 2016 election was being added to a unique museum.

Hillary Clinton on Friday became the first woman to have a portrait adorn the walls at the They Also Ran Gallery in Norton, Kan. The museum honors those who came short of the presidency.

"It's not us dissing you or making fun," museum curator Lee Ann Shearer told Yahoo News. "It's about honoring people who've tried. It's so hard to run for president. ... These people worked hard and love their country, too, and we think it's important to remember that."

Housed in the First State Bank of Norton since 1965, the bank's former president and owner William Walter Rouse was inspired to open the gallery after receiving the book "They Also Ran" by Irving Stone. Rouse, who died in 1981, began collecting black and white copies of portraits and photos from the Library of Congress, according to a history of the gallery.

Clinton joins a gallery that includes such political titans -- and eventual presidents -- as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Theodore Roosevelt.

Friday night's DeploraBall hosted by Gays for Trump in celebration of his election promised several special guests, one of whom was introduced as a "hero" and "the man who turned the election around."

That man was Zdenek Gazda, the guy who filmed and tweeted the video of Hillary Clinton stumbling at the 9/11 memorial on September 11, 2016. Though Clinton's doctor soon after announced she'd been treated for pneumonia, Gazda's video fueled rumors she was hiding a more serious illness, and, he believes, tanked her chances at being elected in the process.

Gazda, a firefighter from the Czech Republic who now lives in New Jersey, told Cosmopolitan.com he filmed the moment by accident. He goes to the museum every year on 9/11 to pay tribute to those who died that day and started taking pictures when he noticed Hillary passing by. He began filming as it was the first time he'd ever seen her in person. Seconds later, her security team had to help her get into her van.

He did not hesitate to post what he'd shot. "I put it on Twitter immediately," Zdenek, who says he was always an avid Trump supporter, said. "I don't like [Hillary] because she lied. She's sick ... I was scared too because so many people like her. But I closed the door on her for the White House. A lot of people say with a 20-second video, I changed the history of the United States."

He believes that to be true. Though the tweet took off on its own, Zdenek encouraged any media outlet that asked to use the footage in their coverage. He also said he "tried" to make money off it and was successful though he wouldn't specify how much he's made, he said he'd sold the video to Storyful. He has never regretted his decision.

"Everyone remembers watching that video on 9/11," a DeploraBall rep said in his introduction of Zdenek. "Not that 9/11."
