The images below include a 2011 rally with Lady Gaga to support legislation repealing 'Don't ask, don't tell', a visit from Michelle Obama to support the second term of Barack Obama, a visit from the Tea Party Express and the announcement of the results from the 2016 Republican Presidential Caucus.
