Former POTUS is preparing to head out on the campaign trail to hit “upcoming rallies,” according to Fox News.
Trump announced that his Boeing 757 “is now being fully restored and updated and will be put back into service sometime prior to the end of the year.”
“When completed, it will be better than ever, and again used at upcoming rallies!”
Trump hosted his first fundraiser event at the Bedminster golf club in New Jersey.
Trump will head to North Carolina next month for the Republican Party’s annual convention.
From Fox News:
Haley, the former South Carolina governor who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during Trump’s first two year in office, told the Associated Press last month that “I would not run if President Trump ran.”
Garden Staters give Christie thumbs down
Just 10% of voters in New Jersey say they want their former governor run for president again, according to a Monmouth University poll released this past week. Nearly six in ten don’t want to see another Christie presidential campaign, with three in ten saying they don’t care.
“Christie left a lasting impression on the state. Nearly every New Jerseyan still has an opinion of him. The problem is those opinions tend to be fairly negative,” Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said.
Poll position
Trump remains the overwhelming front runner in the race for the 2024 GOP nomination – if he runs – according to a survey released this past week by McLaughlin & Associates, which polled for Trump during the 2020 election cycle.
And if Trump doesn’t run, the survey suggests that former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are neck and neck at the top of a very large list.
As always, take these extremely early polls with lots of grains of salt!
