Former President Trump is set to hold a rally in Laconia, New Hampshire on Monday night, accompanied by former opponents-turned-endorsers Sen. Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Gov. Doug Burgum. This "show of force" is aimed at demonstrating the unity within the Republican Party and their readiness to take on President Joe Biden, according to Fox News Digital sources.
The rally, scheduled for 9:00 p.m., is strategically timed just hours before New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary. Recent polling shows Trump leading former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley by a substantial margin.
A Trump campaign official disclosed that both Scott and Burgum, along with Ramaswamy, will join Trump on stage during the event. They are expected to deliver speeches and engage in media interviews. The official emphasized that this gathering is intended to highlight the stark contrast between the Republican Party and President Biden, providing a preview of the upcoming general election.
Sunday saw the Republican primary field narrowing down to Trump and Haley after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his presidential campaign and backed Trump as the party's preferred candidate. Expressing his gratitude for DeSantis' endorsement, Trump stated his eagerness to collaborate with him in defeating President Biden, whom he labeled as the "worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country."
While there are presently no immediate plans for DeSantis to join Trump on the campaign trail, a Trump campaign official confirmed that the door remains open for future collaborations. DeSantis, in his endorsement, asserted that it is clear that Republican voters desire to give Trump another opportunity due to their dissatisfaction with the current administration's tactics and its use of lawfare.
Trump, who has affectionately referred to DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" during his campaign, revealed that he will retire that nickname going forward. The former president appreciates DeSantis' support and recognizes the need to move away from the "old Republican guard" represented by figures like Nikki Haley, whom he believes symbolize a return to corporate-driven policies.
The rally in New Hampshire holds significant importance as it showcases the consolidation of support and the determination of the Republican Party to challenge the current administration. With Trump leading in polls and the backing of former opponents highlighting their common goal, the event sends a clear message that the Republican Party is united and prepared to take on President Biden in the 2024 election.
