Donald Trump receives a warm welcome at a Republican Party gathering, even as several possible White House rivals lash out at his election denialism and insist it was time to move on from ex-US president
In his first major appearance since announcing his intention to run again in 2024, ex-US leader Donald Trump says"Republican Party is a much bigger and more powerful party than it was before I got there."
In his first major appearance since announcing his intention to run again in 2024, Trump told the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas on Saturday that the party had grown under his leadership. "In the midterms, as you've probably heard, I was 222 wins and 16 losses, the press doesn't want to mention that, and the Republican Party got five million more votes than the Democrats," he said, despite the final vote tallies not yet being finalised.
Many of them hit out at Trump's grievance-laden style of politicking, which Republican Party operatives have said was to blame for their tepid showing on November 8.New Jersey's former governor and one-time Trump confidante Chris Christie said candidate quality had been the issue. While he did not mention his old boss by name, Pompeo made none-too-subtle digs about the need to be doers, rather than complainers.
