President Donald Trump has been teasing the 2024 presidential campaign since he left the White House last year, but despite the fact that nothing has been restored, he is still looking closely at other Republican politicians who are laying the groundwork for their own candidacies. According to the Washington Post, Trump and his circle of political allies are preparing for Republicans who are more likely to run for the party – including GOP figures who were once part of his administration. Several Trump advisers have asked him to stop announcing a possible election campaign until after the 2022 midterm elections, as they believe Democrats will tie GOP candidates to the polarized former president in a circle where the party hopes to regain one or more the two houses of Congress. . While it may have been unthinkable in the past that any Republican would challenge Trump, several Republican candidates are likely to argue that a new generation of leaders should build on what the former president has achieved. But the former president is already thinking about how to deal with any arguments against his candidacy. According to The Post, Trump has asked his advisers how he can follow former cabinet members and political allies who may decide to run – as well as Republicans he has supported in the past – to evaluate ways to handle possible competitors, if an offer was launched to the White House. Two advisers told The Post that the candidacy of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida would be an issue, given his high level of popularity in a huge part of the Trump Make America Great Again political base. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who was Trump No. 2, refused to rule out the possibility of being against Trump for the GOP candidacy in a recent interview with the New York Times. “We will go where we are called,” he told the newspaper, adding that he would rely on his faith to help him make a decision. “That’s the way Karen and I always approached these things.” Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served under Trump and is considering running for president, told several people he was willing to run against the former president, but his decision did not stand in the way, according to The Post.
