Axios reports:
Donald Trump is returning to Washington later this month for the first time since the end of his presidency, Axios has learned.
Trump’s planned July 26 visit — to headline an event for the America First Policy Institute — comes as the Jan. 6 committee’s blockbuster hearings contribute to speculation his grip on the Republican Party may be weakening.
New polling shows nearly half the party’s primary voters want a new GOP nominee for president in 2024, with a growing number pledging to desert him if he wins. Trump will deliver the keynote address at 3 p.m. ET on the second day of the group’s policy summit.
The Washington Post reports:
For nearly a year, a kitchen cabinet of Donald Trump confidants have told the former president not to announce his 2024 comeback candidacy before the midterms, arguing that he could be a drag on 2022 candidates and would be blamed if Republicans underperformed.
The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
One confidant put the odds at “70-30 he announces before the midterms.” And others said he may still decide to announce sooner than September.
