The former president aspires to play a decisive role in legislative elections, as king of a party that has embraced his lie of fraud
Donald Trump at the last minute he canceled the press conference with which he intended to steal the limelight from the commemoration of the assault on the Capitol. He did so on the recommendation of his advisers, unable to see any revenue from such a chutzpah, but the tycoon has not had his last word. Far from having become the outcast that some foreshadowed, he remains the absolute monarch of the Republican Party. Nobody overshadows him in the polls, few dare to oppose him and his great lie of electoral fraud takes over the dogmas of the conservative catechism. From Mar-a-Lago prepare your next steps. First, the November legislative; then the start of the presidential campaign for 2024, when he should reveal if he is ready to break into the front row of the political circus again.

In fact, according to an account by ‘The Washington Post’, 163 Republicans who have embraced the fraud theory have already announced their intention to run as candidates to different public offices that would grant them notable authority over the management of future elections. Of these, 69 are fighting to be governors; 55 are vying for a senator’s seat in Washington; 18 aspire to be secretaries of state in their respective states and 13 seek the position of attorney general.
