Former President Donald Trump is launching an early and aggressive campaign for the office of President of the United States. More than six weeks after he announced his intent to run, he is still the only official candidate — not even President Joe Biden has officially noted his intent to participate in the 2024 race.
Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Daily Caller the former president’s campaign has an “overwhelming” strategy and that “top-level teams in early voting states” are already in place.
Cheung reported that Trump is “expanding its massive data operation to wage an overwhelming campaign that’s never been seen before.”
Trump officially announced his presidential run on Nov. 15 at a gala event at Mar-a-Lago. Following his announcement, the former president has worked to drum up momentum by speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition, America First Policy Institute, Log Cabin Republicans, and the 14th Annual President’s Conference of Torah Umesorah.
Cheung noted that in recent weeks, Trump has attended American Freedom Tour and Helping a Hero events, participated in the Georgia runoff tele-rally, shared in several interviews, and met with key members of Congress.
Trump has charged Biden administration officials and the Jan. 6 Committee with attempting to limit free speech and has vowed to ban the federal government from censoring the “lawful speech of American citizens” when reelected president.
Cheung reported:
“President Trump will continue to lead on key issues like [he] has done on free speech and the border crisis in the past few weeks. Additionally, more print, on-camera, and radio interviews with the press have been scheduled so President Trump can lay out his vision for the campaign and highlight Joe Biden’s disastrous policies that have made America less safe and less prosperous.”
Not all have been quick to support Trump’s presidential bid. Former Vice President Mike Pence said: “I think we’ll have better choices … than my old running mate. I think America longs to go back to the policies that were working for the American people, but I think it’s time for new leadership in this country that will bring us together around our highest ideals.”
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and conservative Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MS) refused to say if they would endorse Trump in a matchup against Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Cheung noted that Trump has endorsements from the following:
Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, Illinois Rep. Mary Miller, Ohio Rep. Mike Carey, Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins, Alabama Rep. Barry Moore, Texas Rep.-elect Wesley Hunt, Ohio Rep.-elect Max Miller, Arizona Rep.-elect Eli Crane, Alabama Rep.-elect Dale Strong, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, Kari Lake and the New York Young Republicans Club.
