“I am not going to found a new party,” Trump said Sunday in Orlando at the CPAC conference, an event organized by conservative activists. “We have the Republican Party.” You will be united and stronger than ever. “I will continue to fight by your side.”
Previous reports about the possible founding of a party were “fake news.” At the same time, Trump did not rule out running again in the next presidential election. Rather, he reiterated the factual claim that he won the 2020 election. “Actually, they just lost the White House, as you know,” Trump said, referring to Democrats. “He might even decide to hit her a third time.” The audience recognized this statement with thunderous applause.
Trump harshly criticized the policies of his successor Joe Biden, which is unusual for a recently retired US president. Trump declared Biden “the most disastrous first month as president in modern history.” He accused him again of wanting to make the United States “a socialist country.”
Trump’s appearance was met with frenzied applause from participants at the annual conference. The audience chanted “America, America, America”, “We love you” and “You won.”
Trump was the subject of massive criticism when his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington on January 6 after a rally by the president, where Congress wanted to officially seal Biden’s victory at the time. Then Trump faced impeachment proceedings a second time in Congress, where he was charged with “inciting a riot.” A majority of 57 senators voted against the Republican a good two weeks ago. The two-thirds majority of 67 votes required for a Senate conviction was not achieved.
In the United States, two terms of the same president are allowed, regardless of whether they are consecutive or not. In an informal poll of CPAC participants, 95 percent were in favor of continuing Trump’s policies. 70 percent would like Trump to run again in 2024.
Before Trump’s appearance, Republican Congressman Jim Jordan said at the conference that he saw Trump at the head of the Republicans. “President Trump is the leader of the Conservative movement. He is the leader of the America First Movement. He is the leader of the Republican Party,” he said.
After CPAC participants chanted “USA, USA, USA,” Jordan added, “And I hope that on January 20, 2025, I will be the leader of our great country again.” Then Trump should speak at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference). It is his first public appearance since leaving the White House.
