The GOP has a decision to make, and they’re running out of time to make it.
They need to decide whether or not they’ll be united behind former President Donald Trump in the days and weeks to come. Trump is going to be active in the party moving forward, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he’ll be running again in 2024.
So, is the Republican Party going to continue to fend off the MAGA Movement, (while still courting their votes), or are they going to coalesce behind the party’s declared leader?
Trump returns to the electoral battlefield Saturday as the marquee speaker at the North Carolina Republican Party’s state convention. He plans to follow up with several more rallies in June and July to keep his unique political base engaged in the 2022 midterms and give him the option of seeking the presidency again in 2024.
“If the president feels like he’s in a good position, I think there’s a good chance that he does it,” Trump adviser Jason Miller said in a telephone interview. “For the more immediate impact, there’s the issue of turning out Trump voters for the midterm elections.”
Then came the soundbite.
And, Miller added, “President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.”
The metaphorical mic drop comes after a tough stretch of days for The Don after NYC prosecutors began intimating that their probe into the Trump Organization was no longer purely a civil probe, but that a criminal investigation was now included.
