Old President Trump
Donald Trump: Trump: McConnell “Powerless” to Prevent Biden from Packing Romney Court for NRSC Granting Trump: It’s Not “My Preference” McConnell ignores Trump who calls him “stupid son of b —-” MORE it shows no signs of wanting to unify the Republican Party, even as party leaders soar to soften divisions they fear could hurt the 2022 midterm elections.
In a speech Saturday night to attendees at a donor retreat in Florida, Trump criticized his perceived enemies on both sides and offered little reassurance, if any, that he would try to rally a Republican Party. full of internal divisions and desperate to regain government power. in Washington.
The former president’s remarks recalled how difficult it will be for Republicans to overcome the controversies and struggles they have suffered since the loss of Trump in last year’s presidential election.
“Trump was just Trump,” said a person familiar with the former president’s statements. “That’s not surprising, but I don’t see how that moves the conversation forward.”
For many of the party’s top fundraisers and dignitaries, the withdrawal of Republican National Committee spring donors to Palm Beach represented an opportunity to regroup after a series of devastating losses in recent months that cost the Republican Party the White House and the majority of its Senate.
What attendees got was the emergence of old complaints from Trump, who nearly three months after leaving Washington remains set to relit his loss in the 2020 presidential election and move forward in his clashes with Republicans in who he considers insufficiently loyal.
Among his most prominent goals was the Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell

He also attacked Brian Kemp

Trump has promised to support a major challenge for Kemp ahead of his re-election candidacy next year.
Trump also said he remains disappointed with former President Pence for not doing more to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 elections in January, according to a Politico report. The former president has repeatedly insisted that the presidential contest was rigged against him, claiming widespread election fraud and systemic irregularities were responsible for his loss despite the courts dismissing multiple Republican lawsuits challenging the results.
Trump remains the most influential Republican in the country and has the continued support of a loyal voter base that appreciates his willingness to attack his political enemies, including those of his own party.
But some Republicans have grown tired of intra-party disputes and argue that Trump’s attacks are too frequent to a unified conservative argument against Democratic control in Washington.
A Republican who was informed Saturday of Trump’s statements on Saturday expressed his frustration at the former president’s fixation on his Republicans and argued that he should direct “100%” of his energy to fight Democrats in the Congress and Biden.
“She is OK [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and all of them, “the Republican said.” All of this, while complicating things … makes the message less clear. “
Republicans must get only five seats in the House and only one in the Senate next year to regain their majorities in Congress.
But delays in redistricting due to the coronavirus pandemic have created at least some uncertainty about the House map, and Republicans face a more difficult Senate map than Democrats. The Republican Party is advocating 20 seats in the upper house compared to just 14 for Democrats, and several of those seats are in expensive, ultra-competitive battlefield states such as North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Florida.
At the same time, Trump’s vote to support the main challenges for Republican Party incumbents who have broken with him paves the way for a series of bitter and uncertain candidacy contests that will pit the former president’s political operation against that of the Republican Party.
