Former US President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of running for the presidential election in 2024.
He also attacked President Joe Biden and repeated false claims that he had won the 2020 presidential election for the first time after leaving the White House about six weeks ago, Reuters said.
According to Reuters, former President Trump made this statement in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in Orlando, Florida on the 28th (local time).
This is the first time that former President Trump has appeared in public after leaving office.
“The proud and hardworking American patriot movement is just beginning,” said former President Trump, “in the end we will win.”
He was unhappy with President Biden’s first week in office, especially criticizing President Biden’s border security policy, which completely changed his immigration policy.
“Who knows. He might even decide to win them a third time,” said former President Trump.
This was interpreted to mean running for the presidential elections in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
Former President Trump also stated that the Republican Party was united and said he had no plans to try the idea of “ the founding of the third party, ” which he discussed with his advisers for the past two months.
“We are not starting a new game,” he said. “We have a Republican. We will be stronger and more united than ever.”
According to Reuters, in a poll of CPAC participants on the Republican presidential primary candidate, President Trump showed strong 55 percent support.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ranked second with 21 percent.
When former President Trump was absent, Governor Desantis took the lead with 43%, while other Republican candidates scored in single digits.
But not everyone supported former President Trump.
When asked if he should run again for the 2024 presidential election in a poll, 68% said he should run, but 32% disagree or have no opinion.
“We have a very sick and corrupt electoral process,” said former President Trump. “This election was a fraudulent election. The Supreme Court and other courts did not want to do anything about it.”
In response, event attendees raised him with “You won!” Said AFP.
Former President Trump is also reportedly planning to establish a Super PAC (Special Political Action Committee) to support candidates who reflect Trump’s policy in the future.
That day, former President Trump also mentioned that he wanted to save American culture and identity. He also attacked President Biden, pointing to immigration and security surrounding the US-Mexico border, and the slow resumption of schools due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
He also said, “President Biden had the most miserable president’s first month in modern history.”
But in a recent poll, President Biden’s approval rating is well above 50 percent, AFP said.
The White House has announced its policy of ignoring CPAC comments from former President Trump. White House spokesperson Jen Saki said: “We are not focusing on what former President Trump is saying.”
