“Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to make America great again is just beginning.”
When former US President Donald Trump was found acquitted in the impeachment trial, he immediately expressed his willingness to return to politics. He made the statement above immediately after the US Senate rejected his impeachment bill with 57 guilty and 43 innocent votes. “Too much will be happening before us,” he said, “with a vision of a bright, shining and boundless American future that will soon emerge.”

Local US media assessed that former President Trump had declared that he would resume political activities. The media affirmed that Trump, who was found not guilty in the impeachment trial, had a stronger grip on the Republican Party. The Associated Press said, “The Republican Party is still the property of the former President Trump.”
From the Republican standpoint, despite losing the last presidential election, it is difficult to ignore former President Trump, who has the largest number of votes for the Republican presidential election, and still has strong support. A Gallup poll in the United States in January showed that 82% of Republicans still support former President Trump.
Among the seven Republican senators who voted guilty by former President Trump in rebellion during the impeachment trial, Lisa Merkoski is the only one to run for the midterm elections next year. The remaining six either declared no run or were re-elected two years ago. “If I can’t be honest with what values I stand for, how can I tell the constituency voters to support me,” said Congressman Merkoski.
CNN’s political analyst Harry Enton criticized “This impeachment trial made him realize that Trump is the Republican’s most likely next presidential candidate,” he said. “The Republicans gave themselves a golden opportunity to get rid of former President Trump.” .

However, the inside of the Republican Party is complicated. He needs the supporters of former President Trump, but he seems to be wary of becoming the party’s owner again, getting caught up in conspiracy theories and being criticized by allies.
After the impeachment trial was over, Senate Representative Mitch McConnell of the Republican Party made a statement and said, “There is no question that former President Trump has actually and ethically promoted the invasion of the Congress.” “Abandonment of the job,” he strongly criticized.
However, as to the reason for voting for his innocence, he said, “Former President Trump has retired and has no right to impeach civilians who have left office. If he was in office, he would have seriously considered voting for guilty.”
The Associated Press added that “Mcconal’s remarks were former President Trump to throw a clear message that it could not be the future of the Republican Party.”
Former UN Ambassador Nicky Haley, who is considered the Republican’sleeping dragon’, also emphasized, “Former President Trump has gone a path that he should not go, and the Republican Party should not follow him.”
Borden Ruther Village, a professor of political science at Borden College in the United States, predicted, “With former President Trump’s return to politics, the division of the Republican Party in the party will be even more severe.”
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, which has failed to impeach former President Trump twice, is preparing a new card. It is predicted that a vote to prevent former President Trump from running for office again is expected by mobilizing Article 14 (3) of the Amendment, which prohibited persons involved in riots or rebellions from running for public office.
