Donald Trump to give speech in North Carolina

Banned on social media but still highly influential in the Republican Party, Donald Trump returns to a stage this Saturday to speak to supporters and continue flirting with a possible White House race in 2024.

The former president regained his taste for contact with his people by announcing that he will deliver a speech at the Republican convention in North Carolina, a state he won in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

“I have heard that the venue will be packed and all records will be broken!” He said in a statement.

The 1,250 places that were put up for sale were sold out, according to the organizers of that event in Greenville, in the southeastern United States.

That amount is much less than what his campaign rallies gathered last year, but his fans are eager to hear it for the first time since February.

Although he did not officially announce it, the 74-year-old former president is considering running again in November 2024 and so all his comments are closely scrutinized.

Still very popular with Republican voters, he was left off the main social networks but he did not remain silent.

Expelled from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, his favorite platforms, Trump almost daily publishes messages to candidates of his party and criticisms of his opponents.

Few Republicans have dared to break with Trump despite the violent assault on the Capitol on January 6, when a mob of supporters invaded the building on unfounded allegations of election fraud won by Democrat Joe Biden.

For many, Trump is a trump card for the 2022 congressional elections in which Republicans hope to regain control of Congress. His influence is unprecedented for a president who survived two political trials in a single term and lost his reelection.

JPMorgan resumes donations to certain US politicians

JPMorgan Chase Bank will resume donations to US politicians, except for congressmen who voted against certifying President Joe Biden’s victory in January.

The nation’s largest bank by assets had stopped making financial contributions to both Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the wake of the violence on Capitol Hill, when a crowd of supporters of then-outgoing President Donald Trump violently invaded it on January 6.

Congressmen were preparing that day to formalize Biden’s victory in the November elections, which the defeated Trump unfoundedly believes were stolen from him.

“This was a unique and historic moment in which we believe the country needed our congressmen to put aside their differences and show unity,” the bank’s political action committee said in a memo to employees on Friday, which it held. access the AFP.

The committee, which is funded by donations from employees, says that “the handful of members of Congress who voted against approving the state-certified ballot counts” will not receive donations during the current election cycle.

Many other companies and figures in the corporate world were quick to denounce the violence, and subsequently suspended their donations.

More recently, coalitions of large and small businesses have opposed electoral reforms proposed by Texas Republicans.

The new laws are officially intended to make elections safer by restricting certain procedures, such as extending voting hours and voting by mail. But these provisions to facilitate voting are especially popular with minorities.
