Donald Trump officially launched the campaign for the American mid-term elections on Saturday, finding in Ohio the atmosphere of the meetings he likes, with an eye already fixed on 2024. He addressed all his favorite themes , by painting the portrait of an America running "to its doom" under its successor Joe Biden.

He no longer has Twitter or Facebook, but he still galvanizes the crowds.

Former US President Donald Trump held a big comeback on Saturday evening in front of several thousand of his supporters.

Joe Biden's predecessor has still not officially acknowledged his defeat but has remained on the offensive since leaving the White House.

He spoke twice, at the Republicans' convention.

This time, he found his fans at an outdoor meeting in Ohio, ahead of the midterm elections.

And he took the opportunity to attack head-on Joe Biden's record.

"We will take over the House and the Senate"

“At just five months, the Biden administration is already a complete and utter disaster. Crime is on the rise, illegal aliens are swarming the border, gasoline prices are skyrocketing and inflation is soaring. Russia and Iran humiliate our country. The first priority for all those who want to save America is to give all the energy you have to achieve a gigantic victory in the midterm elections and in 2024 ", launched the former tenant of the White House.

It was the "very first meeting of the 2022 election," said Donald Trump in the introduction, the event having been organized in support of a Republican candidate for Congress.

"We are going to take over the House (of Representatives), we are going to take over the Senate," he insisted.

Having promised to play a big role in the key midterms elections of November 2022, he confirmed his strategy to support pro-Trump candidates.

And if he talks about 2024, Donald Trump still does not officially say if he will be a new candidate.

In addition, no major American news channel broadcast the speech of the former president.
