Trump and Biden entered the 2020 presidential election
It is reported that last week, after former US President Trump announced that "a big news will be released on the 15th", the outside world has guessed that this may be his motivation to make a comeback to participate in the US presidential election . He never acknowledged the term “failure” after Trump lost to Biden in the last election, and was still accusing the 2020 election of “full of lies” until this year’s midterm election. So there is almost no suspense about his comeback, it is just a matter of time. The current US midterm elections have not been announced, but the Republican people have locked in the House of Representatives, and the Democrats have also confirmed to win the Senate.
Former President Trump
15 On the 15th, former US President Trump delivered a speech at Mar-a-Lago , officially announcing that he will participate in the 2024 US presidential election. At present, he has submitted relevant documents for the general election to the party. He only needs to undergo an uncomplicated certification process to obtain the status of "party candidates"; but this does not mean that Trump can become a representative of the Republican Party. The US election system stipulates that candidates must be confirmed within the party first. He must fight with other Republican figures who are willing to run for election and win in order to obtain the presidential candidate qualification. This step is the most critical step. According to US media reports, Trump has actively prepared for the next election since last year, and his influence is very large both within the party and within the country.
DeSantis
But now the situation has changed. Media such as " Washington Post " have released rumors that Trump has already appeared in the party, and he is Florida Governor DeSantis. The latter has more and more supporters, with a momentum exceeding Trump, and can win over many support votes and "financial investments". A major donor to the Republican Party of Virginia revealed that many of the internal news they received have changed their support for DeSantis, so Trump may lose the election in the next candidate; in short, the situation is much different from last year, and Trump is no longer the only candidate for president for many people.
U.S. President Biden
The reasons for the current situation are roughly divided into two points. One is that he was plagued by lawsuits after he stepped down, and he was investigated by judicial authorities due to tax evasion and congressional incidents. The continuous publicity of the media has led to his reputation becoming "stinky"; many people are more or less affected by propaganda, which has improved Trump. Now his private support rate is far from higher than before; the second reason is that Trump recommended many Republican candidates and stood up for him in this year's midterm elections. As a result, many of these people suffered a crushing defeat. In the end, they were unable to win in the House of Representatives. Some people blamed the reason for this "unclear" former president, whose reputation in the party plummeted.
DeSantis "imitated" Trump gesture
It is worth mentioning that compared with Trump, Governor DeSantis has much higher "political level". He has won consecutive victories in his constituency and has been ahead of his opponent this year by more than 20 percentage points. Many Democratic politicians praised this political enemy very much. But DeSantis does not have the huge power of "MAGA" compared to Trump, and he does not tend to take an extreme rejection route. There is a comment on this: "The agent he personally supported became the biggest competitor in the end. I don't know what Trump thought, nor did he expect his 'apprentice' DeSantis to become a stumbling block, but this also proves that the Republicans are right to say that he doesn't know clearly."
