Former President Trump is leading the campaign with his visit to the Ohio slip zone warning against leaving the Biden administration

Donald Trump is stepping on the gas pedal in the race for the Republican nomination. On Wednesday, the former US president traveled to East Palestine (Ohio) the city most affected Norfolk Southern train derailment on February 3, which was transporting dangerous goods. He previously stated that they are the inhabitants of eastern Palestine “abandoned” by the Biden administration. On Wednesday, Trump elaborated on the idea of ​​leaving: “This is America. Unfortunately, as you know, in too many cases your kindness and perseverance have been met with indifference and betrayal.”

A day earlier, Joe Biden, from Europe, addressed the residents of East Palestine via Twitter. “We’ve got you covered,” the president said. Biden used the opportunity to attack Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, blaming them for the state of rail infrastructure. “For years, elected officials — including the last administration — have limited our ability to implement and strengthen rail safety measures,” Biden wrote.

From East Palestine, Donald Trump did not hesitate to describe Biden’s trip to Poland and Ukraine as a “holiday weekend”. The former president thus joined other criticisms directed at the current US president by the Republican Party, which accuses Joe Biden of prioritizing the war in Ukraine at the expense of the situation in Ohio.

Trump’s main obstacle

Despite former President Trump’s efforts, obstacles to his candidacy could continue to pile up in the coming months. on Wednesday The New York Times discovered that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have been called to testify as witnesses before a federal grand jury about Trump’s attempts to stay in power after losing the election. The decision by special counsel Jack Smith – also in charge of the investigation into the discovery of classified documents in the former president’s possession – to call the Kushner-Trump couple to testify comes after the prosecutor did the same with former Vice President Mike Penny earlier this month. Both Ivanka Trump, the former president’s daughter, and her husband were part of Donald Trump’s team during his presidency as advisers. In November, Ivanka declared that she would not participate in her father’s candidacy this time.

Events from January 6, 2021, when a crowd cheered by Trump forced their way into the Capitolthey still might be the politician’s main headache until the 2024 election. In a move that could hurt Trump as much as strengthen him, news broke Wednesday that the Republican House Speaker, kevin mccarthy would provide access Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson to the security footage of the day you attack the capital. According to McCarthy himself, the approach also matches the commitments he made during the negotiations before he was elected spokesman. “I promised,” said the politician The New York Times.

Fox News, where Carlson hosts his own show, is part of the News Corp group owned by the Australian tycoon Rupert Murdoch. The News Corp media, once a major supporter of Trump (both in his previous campaign and during his presidency), has been especially harsh in its coverage of the tycoon Trump in recent months, and with greater intensity since the midterm elections in November.
