The former president tries to quell doubts over his momentum at small events, his first since announcing his re-election bid.
| Former US president Donald Trump hit the campaign trail on Saturday for the first time since announcing his bid to reclaim the White House in 2024, visiting two early voting states and brushing aside criticism that his run was off to a slow start.told a small crowd at the New Hampshire Republican Party’s annual meeting in Salem, before heading to Columbia, South Carolina, for an appearance alongside his leadership team in the state.
Once the undisputed centre of gravity in the Republican Party, an increasing number of elected officials have expressed concerns about Mr Trump’s ability to beat Democratic President Joe Biden, if he decides to run again as is widely expected.Numerous Republicans are considering whether to launch their own White House bids, including Florida governor Ron DeSantis, widely seen as the biggest threat to Mr Trump.
Several Republican state lawmakers decided against attending after failing to gain assurances from Mr Trump’s team that doing so would not be considered an endorsement, according to a person with knowledge of the planning. But he also emphasised social issues such as transgender rights and school curricula on race, perhaps in response to Mr DeSantis, whose relentless focus on culture wars has helped build his national profile.
