Former President Donald Trump spoke at another weekend rally Saturday, this time before a raucous crowd in the town of Robstown, Texas, just outside of Corpus Christi. Trump hit his usual talking points but came a tad closer at hinting a 2024 presidential run.
Trump encouraged the crowd to help create a red wave of conservatism for Republicans to take back the Senate and House of Representatives.
“This is the year we are going to take back the House, we are going to take the Senate,” Trump said.
He then shifted focus to the next presidential election.
“In 2024, we are going to take back our beautiful White House,” Trump told the crowd. This came after the former president threw out another subtle hint of possibly joining the fray.
“In order to make our country successful, safe and glorious again, I will probably have to do it again,” Trump said, triggering a standing ovation and loud chants of “U.S.A., U.S.A.” “But first we have to win a historic victory for the Republican Party this November.”
Although there has been no formal announcement that Trump will run again, he indicated earlier this year he would likely wait until the November mid-term elections are over before any statement would be made.
Trump has continuously toured America this year to not just tout his time in office and promote candidates from state to state, but he’s steadily spoken about how he can “Make America Great Again” (MAGA). The upcoming midterm election will not elect a president, but it will seemingly to set a tone of who’s got better momentum—Trump or President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
Trump’s presence in Texas was to endorse candidates like Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Land Commissioner Sid Miller and a slew of other local and regional candidates running as Republicans.
Trump boasted that all 33 of his endorsees in Texas won their primary elections earlier this year.
The only Texas Democratic candidate particularly called out was Beto O’Rourke, who’s running for governor against Abbott. Trump called O’Rourke “a flake” who “wants to take your guns” and “keep open borders.”
“Seventeen days from now the people of Texas are going to defeat Beto O’Rourke,” Trump said. “And we’re going to keep Greg Abbott, a wonderful man, a great man, a great governor.”
Trump said other things like:
- “[As president] I wish I had [Ken Paxton] as attorney general.”
- Mexico is the “No. 1 most unsafe” country in the world, more so than Afghanistan.
Other happenings
At one point during the rally when Trump addressed the Jan. 6 Committee hearings, he was interrupted by the entire crowd singing “The Star Spangled Banner” and another “U.S.A., U.S.A.” chant.
Trump’s music before entering the stage Saturday night included two songs from the Village People: ‘Macho Man’ and ‘YMCA.’ He ultimately entered the event with the Lee Greenwood rendition of ‘God Bless the USA.’
The midterm elections are November 8. Some states have already begun early voting, while many begin early voting on Monday, October 24.
