From Newsmax:
President Donald Trump has reportedly tabled the idea of starting a new third party, as he now believes he will not be convicted in the Senate and is instead turning his focus to assisting primary challenges against never-Trump Republicans.
The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman tweeted Sunday:
“In last 24 hours, after floating through a few folks that he was considering creating a third-party as a way to keep Senate Rs in line ahead of impeachment, Trump has been talked out of that and is making clear to people he isn’t pursuing it, per ppl familiar w his thinking.”
With President Joe Biden having been giving a peaceful transfer of power and the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol getting further in the rearview, Trump reportedly sees it far less likely 17 Republicans join Senate Democrats in voting in favor of the House article of impeachment: inciting an insurrection attempt.
