We’re going to see a red wave the size of which we’ve not seen for over a decade, maybe even in a generation, that could very well set up Republicans for another landslide victory in 2024. But this can only happen if we maximize November 8 and we need Trump to energize the independent working class voters needed for a Republican electoral tsunami.

The complaints most have about Trump concern his style, not the substance of his presidency. Plus, when one considers the number of accomplishments, despite four years of relentless attacks, what he was able to accomplish is nothing short of phenomenal.

Announcing his bid before the midterms also controls the narrative following the elections. Republicans will win back both the House and the Senate this November, and in all likelihood hundreds of state legislative seats as well as key gubernatorial and other statewide offices. After the rousing wins in the midterms, should Trump wait to make his announcement after these wins, the corporate propagandists who loathe him will immediately start the narrative of, “Well Republicans won in 2022, but now they’re saddled with Trump.” Even now they’re begging him not to announce prior to November.

Trump needs to get ahead of the narrative and an announcement shortly after Labor Day will guarantee the midterms will ratify the fact he is more of an asset than a liability. It will remind people of how life was under him and how we can return to that once again with a second Trump presidency.
