Donald Trump Wants To Restore The Domination Of The Republican Party In The US House Of Representatives. How?
JAKARTA - Former US President Donald Trump wants to restore the dominance of the Republican Party who supported him in the US House Of Representatives. In fact, he promised to do so in the 2022 Congressional Election.
This was conveyed by Trump when meeting with Republican Leader in the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy at Trump's residence, Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday local time.
The meeting comes three weeks after McCarthy angered Trump by saying Donald assumed responsibility for the deadly January 6 riots by his supporters on Capitol Hill, Washington DC.
Advisers said Trump recently talked about forming an alternative to the Republican Party, the Patriot Party, which could have catastrophic effects on Republicans in the upcoming elections if that happened.
But statements issued by Save America PAC in favor of Trump, the Trump-McCarthy meeting show that Trump has ruled out the idea of forming a new party. It said they were focused on the goal of Republicans taking control of the DPR in the 2022 election.
"President Trump has agreed to work with the Leader McCarthy in helping Republicans gain a majority in the House", Save America said in a statement.
McCarthy said in a statement that Trump had committed to electing Republicans in the House and Senate by 2022. While criticizing Democrats for impeaching a president who is now a citizen.
"A united conservative movement will strengthen the bonds of our citizens and enforce the freedoms established in our country", he said.
