Not even hurt. Unless the situation changes, Donald Trump should announce Tuesday that he is once again running for the Republican Party’s nomination in the upcoming presidential election, despite disappointment over the partial exams In the past week.
However, these midterm elections saw “his” Republicans – of whom he had sponsored a large number of contenders – miss the boat in the Senate, still predominantly Democratic, not very sure of winning the House of Representatives, despite a very favorable environment.
The result has deeply eroded the billionaire commander statue within his in-laws who now have their eyes on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. However, there is nothing in this table that would alter the certainty of Donald Trump’s new campaign announcement for the 2024 presidential election.
It must be said that the formalization of the candidacy of the former resident of the White House is an open secret, already largely exposed. Thus, this meeting of his followers for the night of this Tuesday live from his mansion in Florida, Donald Trump set it for November 7.
The scene took place during their last scheduled meeting before the midterm vote, in Vandalia, near Dayton, Ohio. “I am going to make a big announcement on Tuesday the 15th at Mar-a-Lago,” Donald Trump said from the stage. But the excitement must have been just as great as the announcement to come because it hasn’t stopped revealing the content anyway.
“We are going to take the White House in 2024”, launched immediately on this same Ohio stage a Donald Tromp whose supporters sought too literally to take the Capitol in Washington in January 2021.
A few days earlier, the former president had already confided to viewers in Iowa that “very, very, very likely he would do it again.” Until making the trailer… the trailer in Florida, the day before Vandalia’s public meeting: “We have a big meeting tomorrow night in Ohio.”
Outshine your rivals
But that was before the midterm election result and the disappointment that followed. And that stubborn confidence in his possibilities raises questions, at least as much as the businessman’s desire to get out of the quagmire so quickly, on November 15 precisely.
The factors are multiple. First of all, Donald Trump, who is not famous for easily admitting his failures, already indicated during a television interview on November 8 that “if the Republicans win, I should take all the credit”, while “in case of defeat, I should not be blamed.”
Aside from this “heads I win, tails you lose” logic, Donald Trump has other, more political, reasons for accelerating the move. On the one hand, it is time to conjure up the moment of grace enjoyed by Ron DeSantis, triumphantly re-elected as Governor of Florida.
On the other hand, by speaking this Tuesday, Donald Trump is ushering in a second rival, mercilessly overshadowing his media offensive: indeed, as the Associated Press noted here, the publication of so help me godthe memoirs of his former Vice President Mike Pence, to whom we lend primary wishes, had long been scheduled for November 15th.
And why not escape the paperwork?
Finally, Donald Trump’s presidential impatience is undoubtedly explained by a much more urgent motivation. Because man is surrounded by judicial processes and this, on three fronts. The House Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 invasion of the Capitol wants to hear, the FBI seized hundreds of confidential documents improperly transferred to his Mar-a-Lago residence, and his desperate attempts to overthrow the results of the last presidential elections. election expose you to numerous federal and local prosecutions. A bunch of concerns that, far from discouraging him, would rather push Donald Trump to move on.
According to this analysis of New York Times, an early entry into the campaign would thus leave him a lot of time to present the investigations of which he is the object of so many attacks and political manipulations carried out by his adversaries. And nothing better than a short walk around the countryside to get some fresh air.
