Former President Donald Trump is set to take to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference looking to reclaim his role as the Republican Party’s kingmaker as he positions himself to play a major role in the 2022 midterm elections.
“I stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we began together four years ago is far from over,” Mr Trump is expected to say in Orlando, Florida, according to excerpts of his remarks released before the speech.
Mr Trump has remained unbowed and unapologetic since the January 6 insurrection, his political capital among Republicans scarcely diminished even after he was impeached for a second time by the US House and then acquitted by the US Senate — with seven Republicans joining Democrats in the vote to convict him.
In his first public comments since leaving the White House, Mr Trump plans to target President Joe Biden, attacking his immigration policies and demanding that he “get the schools open right now.”
