Former President Donald Trump said the fate of the nation is on the line in the 2024 election, framing the race for the White House as a day of reckoning.
Closing out the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on the outskirts of Washington, Mr. Trump warned the crowd that they are fighting against “sinister forces” that want to destroy the nation and control their lives.
Mr. Trump promised the rapt audience that, if re-elected, he would ensure the so-called deep state would not work against him as many believe it did during his administration. “In 2016, I declared I am your voice,” Mr. Trump said. “Today, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution. I am your retribution.”
Mr. Trump walked on stage to roaring cheers and applause after winning the CPAC poll that measured who the convention attendees would vote for in the GOP presidential primary. Mr. Trump won 62% of the vote, beating the next-most popular pick, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, by 42 points. He pledged to revoke China’s Most Favored Nation status and hold the country “financially accountable” for the COVID-19 pandemic, which he called “the China virus.”
“I will prevent, very easily, World War III,” Mr. Trump pledged. “You are going to have World War III if something doesn’t happen fast.”
