American media outlets have reported, citing sources close to former President Donald Trump, that he is likely to return to political activity after the completion of impeachment proceedings in the U.S. Senate.
The newspaper "Politico," referencing Trump's close sources, stated that their perspective on the impeachment process is still evolving in favor of the former president. A former Republican activist told the newspaper, "It has been a month since the Capitol was stormed, and I would say that the Republican Party is rallying around him again most of the time."
The speakers in the newspaper argue that the impeachment process has indeed proven beneficial for Trump, as it helped identify unloyal Republicans and sparked negative reactions against them from ordinary party members. According to the newspaper, once the impeachment process concludes, Trump, who has now stepped back from the public sphere, will return to political activity and focus on "revenge" against Republicans who distanced themselves from him.
However, the report notes that it remains unclear exactly what actions Trump might take against party members who have strayed from him. The U.S. Senate has deemed the impeachment process against former President Trump constitutional.
