Trump is supposed to hit the road soon continuing his signature rallies, which will put him more in the public eye and generate questions for television networks about coverage.
He’s also expected to have his first fundraiser for his new super PAC at a time when his control over the GOP was enlarged after House Republicans voted to dump Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from their leadership team over her repeated criticism of the former president’s false claims about his loss in the 2020 election.
“I think he feels good. I think he feels vindicated,” said one Trump ally, who said the developments make it more likely that Trump will be “aggressively on the playing field” stumping for GOP candidates in the coming months ahead of 2022.

Even GOP critics of Trump recognize that what happened to Cheney marks the former president’s clout.
“That is a reflection of where the membership is and ultimately where the voters are. The Republican conference is a pretty accurate reflection of where the Republican base is,” said GOP strategist Doug Heye, who has criticized Trump in the past.

Trump has spent most of his time since leaving the White House at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, where Republican leaders routinely travel to meet with him, though he later relocated to his Bedminster club in New Jersey.
Except for a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference and interviews with conservative media, Trump has stayed mostly out of public view and without his social media accounts to speak directly with his supporters.

Trump repeatedly blasts out email statements from his blog, something that is happening with increasing frequency.
The former president is focusing rallies in June and July, an adviser confirmed, though no official announcements have been given. The New York Post first reported that two events were expected to take place in June and one in July.

Trump will also talk at the North Carolina GOP’s convention on June 5, a state with a competitive Senate race on the ballot next year.
Allies expect Trump to hit the campaign trail and stump for candidates he has confirmed as the 2022 midterm polls draw nearer. Trump has also leaned more toward running for the White House again in 2024, which has frozen the field of would-be candidates given his position in the party.

“The answer is I'm absolutely enthused. I look forward to doing an announcement at the right time,” Trump earlier in May told conservative personality Candace Owens when asked if he would launch a 2024 bid.
“As you know, it's very early. But I think people are going to be very, very happy when I make a certain announcement.”
