Donald Trump’s scheduled Tuesday campaign announcement “is still moving full steam ahead despite fellow Republicans begging him to hold off in light of the pending Georgia contest,” Politico reports.
“One person familiar with his plans told Playbook that Trump would never postpone the kickoff, if only because doing so would be a tacit acknowledgement that he is, in fact, a drag on GOP candidates running in close general elections.”
“Trump’s team is trying to frame his announcement to feel ‘more like 2016, less like 2020,’ according to another top adviser. There’s a hope in his camp that since he’ll be declaring against an incumbent, he can reclaim an anti-establishment, Washington-outsider mantle.”
