Jan. 28 (UPI) — Former President Donald Trump on Saturday delivered a speech in his first official 2024 presidential campaign event in New Hampshire.
Trump, speaking at an annual meeting of Republican leaders in Salem, revealed that Stephen Stepanek — the outgoing chairman of the New Hampshire GOP — would serve as a senior adviser for his campaign in the state ahead of the party’s primary, Politico reported.
“If he wasn’t coming with us, I might just have to forget about New Hampshire and just mark it down as a loss,” Trump said. “But with Steve, I don’t think we can lose.”
During his hour-long speech, Trump made a number of false statements including that the leaders of other nations were slow to congratulate Biden when he won the presidency, Time reported.
“We’re starting right here as a candidate for president,” Trump said during the speech.
“I’m more angry now and I’m more committed now than I ever was.”
Trump also discussed plans to eliminate federal funding for schools that teach critical race theory and “left-wing gender ideology.”
“We have a great military but we have some fools right now on top,” Trump said during the speech.
Trump remains the only declared Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election, though potential challengers include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence.
Later in the day, Trump headed to South Carolina for his second campaign event, which was broadcast by Newsmax.

“This campaign will be about the future. This campaign will be about issues. Joe Biden has put our America on the fast track to ruin and destruction and we will ensure that he does not receive four more years.”

I’ve got to figure out a way that I can watch DT’s rallies. Maybe if I go to a bar....
We had a great military. It like healthcare and other vital industries have been purged via operation warp speed.
The prez with a record of mail in ballots, masking, travel restrictions… unless you are an unvetted Syrian immigrant needs to shut it.
He is still peddling the bad pimp lies.
He presided while people were denied seeing their dying loved ones nation wide.
He has a record of democrat tyranny. Even the FReebots can’t change that.
I can tell you objectively that Trump has zero chance in NH.
I was one of his first supporters in 2015.
Frankly I’m not sure any GOP can win in 2024 without them going on full attack mode on CA and the MSM.
Highly unlikely the current GOP leadership will ever do that.
Yeah right. So tell us O political Guru, which GOP loser is going to beat Trump in the primary?
