WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump hinted at a third presidential campaign Tuesday during a keynote speech at a policy summit held by former members of his administration, telling his supporters that efforts to impeach him and investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol are intended to hurt them.
“They want to damage you in any form, but they really want to damage me so I can no longer go back to work for you, and I don’t think that’s going to happen,” he said to the crowd, which showed its support with chants of “Four more years!”
Trump made the comments at the America First Policy Institute’s summit in Washington, his first visit to the nation’s capital since he left office in January 2021. The former president is thinking about announcing a third presidential campaign as soon as September, according to news reports.
