Former President Donald Trump’s eldest son proclaimed on Thursday that his father continues to be the future of the Republican Party.
“If you’re reading the room and you’re intelligent, you realize that Donald Trump is still the future of the Republican Party,” Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.

Trump explained that Republicans who follow the 45th president are “following an America First agenda” to “fight for the hardworking men and women.”
He also made the case that it’s a “good” thing that many Republicans have broken from the former president over the past several weeks.
“The Republican Party isn’t going to be bound to those corporate interests anymore,” he said. “So I love that they are making that link and breaking it because we need more of that, and we need candidates and people who will go to bat, who will go to war and fight for the American working class and make sure we put them first.”
The former president is set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend in his first major speech since leaving the White House, and he is expected to set the tone for his political future.

“President Trump will be laying out … a future path for the Republican Party,” Trump adviser Jason Miller told Newsmax earlier this week. “We want to go and win back the House and the Senate for Republicans in 2022, but there are … a few places where there may be Republican-held seats where we could get a good ‘America First’ upgrade.”
