He intends to use his speech to pummel the Biden administration as well as stake his claim as the de facto head of the GOP moving forward, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/trump-2024-republican-party-cpac-b687bd9f-6702-47cb-b1ac-d112deb23880.html\">Axios<\/a> reports, citing anonymous allies of the ex-president.<\/p>\n<p>Some close to the former president believe that Trump is unlikely to run again in 2024. According to Axios: \u201cMany Trump confidants think he\u2019ll pretend to run but ultimately pass. He knows the possibility \u2014 or threat \u2014 gives him leverage and attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump senior adviser Jason Miller said, \u201cTrump effectively is the Republican Party.\u201d Miller added, \u201cthe only chasm is between Beltway insiders and grassroots Republicans around the country. When you attack President Trump, you\u2019re attacking the Republican grassroots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another Trump adviser said the former president wants his speech to be a \u201cshow of force\u201d that reminds Republicans, especially those that have become increasingly critical of Trump in recent weeks, that \u201cI may not have Twitter or the Oval Office, but I\u2019m still in charge.\u201d Trump is intent on exacting revenge on Republicans who he feels betrayed him in the weeks following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. He is reportedly organizing a formal process to vet primary candidates for his endorsement against certain elected Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>A number of GOP lawmakers and high-profile Republicans have criticized Trump in recent weeks over the events of Jan. 6. In several cases, Republican state parties have voted to censure lawmakers, such as Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/north-carolina-gop-censures-sen-richard-burr-over-impeachment-vote\">Richard Burr<\/a> of North Carolina, Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/louisiana-gop-censures-bill-cassidy-over-guilty-impeachment-trial-vote\">Bill Cassidy<\/a> of Louisiana, and Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/wyoming-gop-censures-liz-cheney-over-house-impeachment-vote\">Liz Cheney<\/a> of Wyoming, who supported impeaching and convicting Trump of allegedly inciting the Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, was an early GOP critic of Trump\u2019s actions on Jan. 6 and faced blowback in her state as well as from prominent Republicans such as Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Trump\u2019s son, Donald Jr. While some outspoken Republicans called for Cheney to be ousted from her House leadership position, she ultimately kept her spot in a 145-61 vote.<\/p>\n<p>Former Ambassador to the United Nations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nikki-haley-rips-trump-over-jan-6-im-disgusted-by-treatment-of-pence-trump-let-us-down\">Nikki Haley<\/a> was also critical of Trump in a February profile of her in Politico. She said she was \u201cdisgusted\u201d by Trump\u2019s attacks on his then vice president, Mike Pence, on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I tell you I\u2019m angry, it\u2019s an understatement,\u201d Haley said. \u201cMike has been nothing but loyal to that man. He\u2019s been nothing but a good friend of that man. \u2026 I am so disappointed in the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I\u2019m disgusted by it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haley later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook-pm\/2021\/02\/18\/trump-snubs-haley-491802\">reportedly<\/a> attempted to set up a meeting with Trump after the Politico profile was published. Trump reportedly rejected the offer, an apparent snub after her criticisms of him.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
