VANDALIA, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — On the eve of the 2022 midterm elections, former President Donald Trump announced Monday that he would be making a “very big announcement” on November 15, widely believed to be his bid to run in a 2024 presidential campaign.
Speaking to supporters at a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on Monday night, Trump thwarted speculation that he was about to announce a 2024 presidential campaign that evening. Instead, he revealed he would be making a “very big announcement” next Tuesday.
“Two years ago, we were a great nation. And we will be a great nation again,” he said, before continuing:
But not to detract from tomorrow’s very important, even critical election, and I would say, in the strongest way, it’s a country-saving election…
I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
“We will fight for America like no one has ever, ever fought before,” he stated, naming the GOP candidates he has endorsed in the current midterm elections.
In characteristic style, Trump urged those at the rally to remain “loyal” to “America.” “As long as we are confident, united, and loyal to the cause, the tyrants we are fighting do not stand a chance because we are Americans and Americans yield to God, and to God alone,” he said.
Americans head to the polls today in the midterm elections in what is widely expected to produce a “red wave” for the Republicans, amid soaring inflation and a widespread cost-of-living crisis. The elections are deemed pivotal, with Democrats looking to implement a number of anti-life and anti-family policies, should they flip two Senate seats and keep their narrow majority in the House.
As LifeSiteNews reporter Raymond Wolfe wrote: “Democrat victories on Tuesday could destroy America as we know it, allowing Democrats to legalize abortion up to birth, outlaw dissent from the LGBT agenda, institutionalize election fraud, and abolish religious freedom for millions of Americans.”
Trump’s announcement came just days after Axios reported that he was likely to announce his 2024 bid on November 14, six days after the midterms. The Axios reporter who broke that story then tweeted that his sources were indicating Republicans of “varying degrees of closeness to Trump are anticipating [an] accelerated announcement based on his recent private comments.”
Trump also confused observers last week when he made a public swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, styling the governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.” DeSantis is comfortably ahead of his midterm, Democrat challenger Charlie Crist for the state’s governorship.
While also widely tipped to make a 2024 presidential bid himself, during a debate with Crist last month DeSantis refused to say if he was going to run for president in 2024.
While Trump’s accomplishments for the pro-life cause are numerous, the former president is also not without significant political baggage.
Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett all voted to strike down Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, ruling that there is no constitutional “right” to abortion and that states may pass their own pro-life laws.
Trump also stopped taxpayer funding of overseas abortion; permitted states to defund Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, of Title X and Medicaid funds; defunded the pro-abortion UNFPA, which has been complicit in China’s oppressive population control activities including coerced birth control and abortion; required health insurance companies to disclose if plans cover abortion; ended the Obama-enforced contraceptive mandate, which had forced corporations with religious objections from covering abortifacients in their health plans; made numerous pro-life cabinet, political, and judicial appointments; and became the first sitting U.S. president to speak onstage at the March for Life.
Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the globalist Paris Climate Agreement and at the beginning of the global coronavirus outbreak, in April 2020, withdrew American funding from the pro-abortion World Health Organization, a United Nations entity that is heavily tied to communist China.
On Trump’s watch, though, the U.S. endured devastating lockdowns to “slow the spread” of COVID-19 – lockdowns overseen and orchestrated by government bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx who were essentially unpunished by Trump.
The extreme turmoil of 2020 – forced-masking of toddlers, economic ruin thanks to closure of “nonessential” businesses, devastating learning loss from school closures, riots, inhumane hospital policies that forced people to die alone and banned fathers from being in the delivery room as their children were born – occurred under Trump’s watch, as did “Operation Warp Speed,” which accelerated the development of mRNA injections that in 2021 were then forced upon many Americans as a condition of employment or societal participation.
True, but without machine records, they don't know who didn't vote and can't send in ballots in their name without risking duplicate ballots.
Nope. The real flaw in mailed paper ballots is after the outer envelope is separated from the ballot inside, there is no way to authenticate the paper ballot.
Mail in voting is corruption’s playground
I think they already are.
We know Democrats cheat.
We know little was done to stop them.
Why bother?
Trump needs to hold off, maybe even just say No. At the minimum, let the dust settle from today—did Republicans lose the Senate, House, and Governorships?
Yes, I agree. DeSantis gave an incredible acceptance speech tonight, he’s had a very successful four years, and I’m increasingly ready to pick him over Trump. For one thing, I’m tired of Trump excuses and it being all about him. If I hear one more time about him and his mail-order bride coming down the escalator...
Yes, DeSantis is riding high now. But now the machine will start aiming on him, we’ll see how he does. If they got Trump, they’ll get DeSantis too.
I think DeSantis will fare much better as he thinks before he speaks and acts.
Give it up Donald, The MSM will never let you have a shot at the White House. Your screwed. The real masters of America will keep you out even if they must take you out, one way or another. They will not let you even build your library or retire. The GOP doesn’t deserve you. America is too far gone! Any land that would be content with Biden and elect a Fetterman is beyond fixing. The last great deed you did for America is pull off the false mask of Democracy they hid behind. At least the people now know the truth.
The cheating has been going on for decades. I remember Democrats ‘finding’ ballots in trunks of cars before the electronic age.
Even yesterday as I watched my 4 page paper ballot with little circles filled in, be fed into the tabulator, I wondered...how do I know if it is tabulated correctly? There’s no receipt showing my vote was counted correctly in ever blue Cuyahoga County.
If Trump runs—he will lose to who ever the Democrats appoint. The Mail in ballots and electronic system will make sure. TRump get 135 Million Votes—the Democrat will get 230 Million. Its rigged. Maybe its time to make a new country? A Free Country, no world policemen, no Green poverty state. Maybe its time to make our Bonny Blue flags?
They said this in the re-elections of Ron DeSantis, Marco Rubio, Brian Kemp, and Brad Raffensperger and they said this in the defeats of nearly every other MAGA candidate.
Trump is touting "174 wins, 9 losses. Great night!" Really? And those 174 wins? How many of those were House races already ahead by 20 points by the time Trump endorsed them?
It's those nine losses that mattered. These were devastating. These are on Trump.
Trump's days as a kingmaker or a viable candidate in '24 ended last night. People here would be wise to see this and move on.
If Trump runs, Newsome wins.
If Trump runs, Newsome wins.
I don’t see a lot of pessimisim. I do see a lot of facts. If a problem is to be fixed, the cause of the problem must be fixed. All I have heard for two years is that the Republicans are giong to win. They will win the Fouse. They will win the Senate They will win the front yard. They will win the back yard. They will win the tool shed. They never addresses what caused the 2020 problem. In fact,the same Republicans that married the Democrats and aided and abetted in the 2020 Coup were reelected in 2020 and were running in 2022. The same voting machines and methods were used. It is going to be a wipe out for the Democrats was the Battle Cry.
The thinking patterns of the American voter have changed. As proven by their votes, they will no longer tolerate being Governed by honest individuals. They demand to be ruled by degenerates, perverts, and freaks of nature. In other words , people like themselves. The more degenerate and perverse, the more popular they are with the voters.
Sorry...the USA was murdered albeit slowly. With patriot white people not having babies and the democrats importing third world muslims and letting third world hispanics walk across the border, this country is dead.
What did Johnson say? I will have these people voting for us for decades? And he did it through bribing them with government handouts just like today.
Here’s an idea for you. Trump gets indicted by Garland. Garland would do it.
