During an appearance in the state of Ohio, Trump announced a “very big announcement” on Tuesday night on November 15th. He justified the week-long waiting period by saying: “We don’t want anything to distract from the importance of tomorrow.”
This Tuesday, the House of Representatives, parts of the Senate and dozens of governors will be re-elected in the United States. It has long been speculated that Trump could announce his own candidacy in the 2024 presidential election after the success of well-disposed candidates. Rumors had been spread on Monday that this could happen at the Ohio show. In the end, however, the announcement of the date next week remained.
Trump chose his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as the location for the prospective event on November 15. During the appearance on Monday, he again repeated his false claim that current President Joe Biden only won the election against him in November 2020 through fraud.
Trump insults Pelosi again
The former US President also continued to incite his supporters against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, even after her husband was injured in an attack at the couple’s home. Trump referred to Pelosi as an “animal”. He referred to the two impeachment proceedings launched against him by House Democrats during his presidency. They failed because of the Republicans in the Senate.
Immediately before Trump’s appearance, Pelosi spoke emotionally in her first interview since the attack on her husband a good ten days ago. While Pelosi was in Washington, a man broke into her home in San Francisco during the night. According to police, he woke her husband, Paul, also 82, and demanded to see the Speaker of Parliament. When the police, alerted by Paul Pelosi, arrived, the man hit him with a hammer. As a result, Paul Pelosi had to undergo surgery for a fractured skull.
The attacker later testified that he wanted to question Pelosi and smash her knees. She was particularly concerned that her husband was not the actual target of the attack, “but he was the one who paid the price,” Pelosi told CNN. She linked the attack to Trump’s lie about his alleged stolen victory in the 2020 presidential election and other misinformation spread by his Republican Party supporters. The attack by Trump’s supporters on the Capitol in Washington in January 2021 was driven by it.
Trump called Pelosi “Crazy Nancy” for years. Pelosi called on Republicans to detach from Trump’s rhetoric. “We need a strong Republican Party in our country,” said the Democrat. The Republicans have achieved great things for America – “and they should be proud of it instead of surrendering to the cult of a villain.” According to polls, the Democrats are at risk of losing their majority in the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections this Tuesday. Pelosi didn’t say in the interview if she would retire if she did, but she did acknowledge that the attack on her husband would influence that decision. Pelosi is the number three leader in the United States after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
