Trump to hold ‘special announcement’ at Mar-a-Lago amid GOP pushback on 2024 bid
by Julia Shapero - 11/10/22 10:18 PM ET
Former President Trump unveiled new details about his “special announcement” at Mar-a-Lago next week, which is widely expected to launch his 2024 presidential campaign, even as the former president faces pushback from within the Republican Party.
Trump confirmed that he will be holding a “special announcement” at Mar-a-Lago on Nov. 15 in a press release on Thursday night.
The former president teased a potential campaign announcement at several rallies in the final weeks of the midterm elections. However, he homed in on the Nov. 15 date on Monday, telling a cheering crowd at an Ohio rally that he was “going to be making a very big announcement.”
Despite the GOP’s lackluster performance in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Trump appears largely unfazed. The former president told Fox News on Wednesday that Republicans had “tremendous success” in the midterms and suggested he did not plan to move his announcement.
However, Trump has faced pushback from his own party over the expected campaign announcement. Several members of the GOP have suggested that it would be unwise to announce next week and take attention away from the Georgia runoff race.

Congrats to Sen. Warnock. I doubt Youngkin or DeSantis want to get involved in helping Walker if Trump is going to stamp his feet.

I’m not going to fault Donald Trump for insisting on trying to campaign for and help Herschel Walker.
Walker campaigned for him in 2020 and spoke at the Republican convention on his behalf so I think there’s that sense of loyalty. The downside is it’s gonna cost us a Senate seat for sure
