The 76-year-old former president (2017-2021) wants revenge for his clean loss, which he continues to dispute, in the November 2020 showdown with Joe Biden.

Donald Trump, who seems eager to announce his 2024 presidential bid, has been all over the campaign trail for the midterms, calling for a “giant wave” of red, which he will send dozens of his loyalists to Congress, a necessary condition for his eventual return to the White House.

The 76-year-old former president (2017-2021) wants revenge for his clean loss, which he continues to dispute, in the November 2020 showdown with Joe Biden.

Although his name was not on any ballots in Tuesday’s U.S. congressional and local elections, the fortunes of the Republicans he publicly supported will provide a picture of his popularity and his chances of returning to the Oval Office on January 20. 2025.

Last night Monday, the real estate mogul, who stormed the US political scene by winning the Republican primary and then the presidency in 2016 for an unprecedented term, boasted he would make “a very big announcement” on Tuesday. Nov. 15 “at Mar-a-Lago,” his home in Florida.

Voting in Palm Beach yesterday, Mr Trump said he expected a “great night, which will be very good for the country” and next Tuesday he was “looking forward to seeing you” in Florida for his pre-emptive announcement that he would be “passionate”. many.

He responded affirmatively to a reporter’s question about whether he voted for Ron DeSandis — his potential opponent in the internal party process — for the office of governor of the state where he transferred his electoral rights.

In the countless campaign events where he appeared, the businessman created an extraordinary blackboard for America under the presidency of his arch-rival Joe Biden.

In front of oceans of red hats with his slogan, “Make America Great Again”, Mr Trump referred to rising prices, which are “suffocating households”, violent crime , which is “out of control”, on the “far left” which is “brainwashing our children”. Inflation, insecurity, schooling: these were the three themes of the Republican campaign.

The “solution to end this madness,” end “the destruction of our country,” and “save the American dream”? Voters to ‘Vote Republican’, ‘giant wave’ sweeps Congress.

The former president made sure to wait for the results of the election to announce his candidacy so as not to disrupt the renewal of the composition of the entire House of Representatives, a third of the Senate, state governors and thousands of local electors. He has publicly endorsed about 200 candidates.

If the “Trumpers” triumph, Mr. Trump’s rule will be undisputed. If, contrary to predictions, they are defeated, the former president will face tough competition in the Grand Old Party, with opponents including Mr. DeSandis and his former vice president, Mike Pence.
