President Donald Trump has truly made the impossible a reality by becoming the only Republican in history to win the party’s nomination for a historic third consecutive time – and doing so by overwhelmingly massive margins.
Trump swept the GOP primary election races from January to March, deftly leveraging his Republican opponents to drop from the race, one by one, as they were forced to deal with the powerful movement that the president has spearheaded since 2020.
On Tuesday evening, Trump brought home landslide victories in the GOP state elections of Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, officially clinching the Republican nomination by securing the needed 1,215 delegates to bring home the big win.
He will face off with Joe Biden and the Democrat apparatus in November, but until then, the president has made it clear that it is all about the mission.
“Most importantly we now have to go onto victory because our country’s in serious TROUBLE,” Trump said in a special video message from Mar-a-Lago.
He highlighted the dangers of unfettered illegal immigration and talked about Joe Biden’s failing economy, thanks to the energy crisis.
He said, “We’re going to have a strong country, we’re going to have a respected country, we have to win an election and we should win it by a lot because there’s never been anybody worse at doing their job than Joe Biden.”
The president narrowed his focus on winning big in November, adding, “We’re not going to celebrate. We’ll celebrate in eight months when the election is over. November 5th, I think, will go down as the most important day in the history of our country – so start thinking about it, start thinking about your vote, because this vote is going to be the MOST important vote you’ve ever cast.”
On Truth Social, President Trump said that it was his “great honor” to be representing the Republican Party as its presidential nominee.
He wrote, “Our Party is UNITED and STRONG, and fully understands that we are running against the Worst, Most Incompetent, Corrupt, and Destructive President in the History of the United States.”
President Trump will formally accept the Republican nomination in July at the Republican National Convention, but until then, he is clearly already pivoting into the general election and focusing on doing battle with Joe Biden once again.
