Former President Donald Trump is being advised to delay next week’s “very big announcement” after a much-anticipated red wave failed to form on Election Day, with some arguing Republican efforts should be concentrated on the Dec. 6 US Senate runoff election in Georgia.
“I’ll be advising him that he move his announcement until after the Georgia runoff,” former Trump adviser Jason Miller told the Associated Press. “Georgia needs to be the focus of every Republican in the country right now.”
Trump has come under withering criticism for his role in the midterm campaign after Republican expectations for crushing victories in the House fell short and control of the Senate remained up in the air as of Thursday morning.
In a further blow to Trump’s status, his potential 2024 rival Ron DeSantis cruised to a double-digit reelection win as Florida governor and is being looked at as the future of the party.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Talking about anything except why Warnock is a bad choice is time wasted.
Trump rallying MAGA, talking about Herschel in front of tens of thousands of people, is an excellent use of political assets.
The only way that works is if Briam Kemp is brought into the mix and as much as possible everyone working together to get Walker over the edge.
Trump supporters may not want to hear it, but Brian Kemp is more popular in Georgia than Trump.
The only way that works is if Briam Kemp is brought into the mix and as much as possible everyone working together to get Walker over the edge.
Trump needs Kemp to rally tens of thousands of MAGA in GA? How so?
WGaS?
“Thoughts? Concerns?”
Nothingburger.
A lot of people will stay home if Trump is the nominee, just like a lot of people like you will probably stay home if Trump is not the nominee.
I could have easily beaten that record, just by endorsing all of the people in safe races regardless of party. The point is that most of his endorsements we’re meaningless as the candidate would have won either way.

You figure it out.
Who said TRUMP’S November 14 big announcement is him announcing his candidacy?
All PRESIDENT TRUMP said at the rally was that he was going to make a big announcement on November 14 and that people were going to be VERY HAPPY.
That is all he said.
People are fickle. There is very little loyalty these days. The GOP is a prime example of that.
My advise to President Donald J. Trump
1. Stop talking about 2020—don’t forget it but just tone it down. Your starting to talk like whiner.
2. Pick Sarah Palin as your VP choice early. she’s a woman and it would stick it to the Liberals and Cheney crowd.
3. Set out your agenda—what you will do—day one of your term. Let people know what they will get and be ready to change your mind if you get a better way.
4. Be the Peace Candidate! Help Ukraine get a new peace deal with Putin or whom ever the Russians send.
Vow to go to Ukraine and Russia as well ask UK and Poland. To end this thing.
5. Name your cabinate and change the FBI/CIA. Make a Government in exile—ready on day one. Hold public meetings on problems we face.
6. Declare war on the Cartels! Bomb their factories in Mexico—or have Mexico do it. Expose if the Cartels have been bribing political people in this nation as they do in Mexico.
7. Bring back the electric Chair for all who kill a cop or sell drugs.
From Robert Barnes as to why a significant share of the Trump voter will NOT show up for anyone else:
Trump or Bust in 2024.
Digging into the data from the 2022 election reveals what Richard Baris, The People’s Pundit, polls revealed: a group of independent, working-class, northern voters only interested in voting for Trump. Remember: Trump ran ahead, often way ahead, of Republican candidates in these swing states in 2022 polling.
These voters derive from two separate camps: first, ex-GOP voters in rural areas and small towns who left the party after the twin debacles of the Bush Sr. and Jr. presidencies; and second, ex-Dem voters in industrial towns who gave up on their ancestral party under or after Obama. Many just quit voting all together. They came out in 2016. They came out again in 2020. But they skipped 2018 and appear many skipped again in 2022. Reality is they are highly likely to vote for Trump in 2024, but not nearly as likely to turn out for any other GOP candidate, especially if wrapped in the politically dead Bushite brand as a Mitt Romney style Republican.
This voter is marginally active in the court of public opinion, and they are more likely to tune into an Alex Jones than Fox News. They disfavor dumb wars overseas, bad trade deals that killed their jobs, generally agnostic on most social issues, have no interest in Hollyweird, and are rarely church-goers. To the contrary, as Michael Barone and other detailed in 2016, this type of Trump voter often resided in areas more disconnected than connected, more isolated than communal, more abandoned than chic. And it cannot be underestimated that when they answer polls “people like me have no power” their distrust doesn’t stop at a Democratic identity line – they deeply dislike and distrust the Bush-branded Republican party just as much, or even more.
Find them at a truck stop, after midnight at the pub out in nowhere-land, or a diner in the late morning hours. Springsteen sang of them lyrically from Born in the USA to going down in Youngstown. Why should they trust a Republican Party of Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy, the part of country clubbers and corporate board rooms, war-whores and Wall Street apologists? Nor can they trust a Democratic Party deeply aligned with statist bureaucrats caring more about making boys into girls and the psychic safe spaces for wokester kids with pink hair or the Manhattan trust fund kid with Mummy issues.
They left their churches a long time ago, when their churches often quit caring about them as people. Their unions long since failed, worrying more about government workers and culturally hip values than their material well-being. Their families often failed, as the social and economic foundation for it fell underneath them. More than a few saw real combat, and more than a few lost loved ones in dumb wars. Their job went overseas or the foreign came here to take it, often at corporate invite.
They got two parties not worth a damn, and they often skip elections, unless a wild -eyed, big-eared boss from Texas gives them a shot to say hello to the Man or a ball-busting, pussy-grabbing, big-talking New Yawker can help them say “shove it”. A Republican Party that Paul Ryan still wants to flirt with Bush-style branding only welcomes 2012 Presidential losing outcomes and 2022 middling midterms. The rebellions of 2010 and 2014 won’t return, as Ryanite Republicanism convinced voters of its Bush-style uselessness. Any candidate other than Trump in 2024 will keep these voters home, just as it did in 2012 and 2022.
Trump-or-bust for Republicans in 2024.
Good thinking.
