GOP Rep. Banks says Trump 'fired up' after FBI raid, 'made up his mind' on 2024: 'Going to like his decision'

Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks met with former President Trump at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster Tuesday evening, and said the former commander in chief is "very upbeat," and has "made up his mind" about 2024—a decision he will make public in "a matter of time."

"He didn’t seem defeated in the least bit—he was very fired up, very upbeat," Banks told Fox News of Trump’s attitude, just a day after the FBI raided his home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

"It was a great three-hour-long conversation about what House Republicans are doing now to win back the majority and what we are going to do with it when we win," Banks said.

As for Trump’s plans with regard to a 2024 White House run, Banks said the former president told the group that he "has made up his mind."

"He said we are going to like his decision and it is only a matter of time before he will make that decision known," Banks told Fox News, adding that Trump "enjoyed encouragement" from RSC members Tuesday to "get the decision out sooner rather than later."

"He only helps us win back more seats in November," Banks said. "The Republican Party is bigger and stronger than ever before because of Donald Trump’s leadership."

Banks said Republicans "need Trump voters to come out in a big way to grow a historic GOP House majority to then pave the way to win the White House in 2024."

Never in my lifetime did I think I would see an American law enforcement agency be run and weaponized like the FBI this evening. This is a frightening development in our modern political arena.

I am praying for our country right now because I’m not sure anything else can fix what is transgressing. Pray for our country this evening. It can and will be saved because We the people are waking up. pic.twitter.com/PzYR8xiXM3— Ben & Candy Carson (@RealBenCarson) August 8, 2022

Yes, this should have been just the thing to steel his resolve if he was on the fence.

After all, they just proved they will never stop coming after him, no matter what ridiculous lengths they have to go to. So why shouldn’t he fight back with everything he’s got? He has nothing to lose at this point, and everything to gain.

They know the REAL story — the RINOs are being ousted in their primaries at TWICE THE RATE they have lost primaries in the past.

These RINO traitors are being replaced with MAGA.

If Trump runs in 2024, there will not be enough RINO traitors left in the state legislatures to hand the Steal to Democrats.

Trump's attorneys were not allowed to know the reason for the raid; the raid was not legal due to 1) lack of any risk of subject being able to hide evidence (because he wasn't home) of the secret crime they “can't disclose;” 2) they need a separate warrant to break open a safe (per Dershowitz) and Trump attorneys not allowed to see what the investigators were doing, meaning no “evidence” is valid in court. These are multiple crimes and the whole team should be fired along with Wray and Garland. Meanwhile, Trump should allege cash and jewelry are missing so that the local authorities can investigate the investigators.

“TRUMP CLAMS UP”

Surely Trump’s lawyers are involved in the this.
I believe is good advice. Trump is being subjected to a shakedown and the more he talks the more they will shake. Let the “break in theiven crooks” first come up with what they got.

“The Republican Party is bigger and stronger than ever before because of Donald Trump’s leadership.”


Not until we have new speakers. The current two are wanna be Republicans...

Great time for PDJT to declare he is running for president in 2024.

I truly admire Trump’s determination, courage and fighting spirit.

I think I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago. Who needs all this grief?

I doubt there’s another republican who could withstand this level of assault.

Yep it is - very proud of him as he’s fought hard and succeeded in Harrisburg against Wolf’s tactics in PA. Meanwhile he’s one of Trumps go to men when needed. So we’re super proud of him.

Without lots of money and power most people would have been taken down from the antics the left is willing to pull off to defeat candidates. They daily abuse the power of Government, from bribed Judges to Attorneys and politicians eager to take the bribes. It's beyond nasty business - it's deadly to ones political career if the left wants to topple you.

He better announce today then, and get ahead of the indictments that are coming.

New tagline.
