Former President Trump on Tuesday returned to Washington, D.C., for the first time since he departed the White House under a cloud of controversy, teasing out a vision for a Republican-controlled government as he nears a decision on running for president again in 2024.

“This November, the people are going to vote to stop the destruction of our country, and they’re going to vote to rescue America’s future,” Trump said. “I’m here before you to begin to talk about what we must do to achieve that future when we win a triumphant victory in 2022 and when a Republican president takes back the White House in 2024, which I strongly believe will happen.”
