Trump first to file for Idaho GOP 2024 presidential caucus

September 11, 2023

The Idaho Republican Party is pleased to announce the first filing of a declaration of candidacy with the Idaho Republican Party for the 2024 Presidential Caucus. Former President Donald J. Trump officially submitted his declaration of candidacy to Idaho Republican Party headquarters earlier today, expressing his dedication to addressing the critical issues facing our country and championing the values and principles that Republicans hold dear.

"This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for our party," Dorothy Moon, Chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, said. "Donald J. Trump brings a wealth of experience and a visionary outlook that resonates with so many Americans, especially those long forgotten by the coastal elites. We are looking forward to receiving additional declarations of candidacy from other Republican presidential candidates and a spirited campaign leading up to our March 2 caucus.”

The Idaho Republican Party remains committed to representing the vast majority of Idaho’s citizens while upholding the principles of our Constitutional Republic, promoting a fair and transparent caucus, and providing the citizens of Idaho with the opportunity to make informed decisions about their future.

"I left behind my former life because I could not sit by and watch career politicians continue bleeding this country dry and allow other nations to take advantage of us on trade, borders, foreign policy, and national defense," Trump writes on his official campaign website, www.donaldjtrump.com. "As President, I took on every powerful special interest, fixing globalist trade deals, ending foreign wars, securing the border, and standing up to Big Pharma and China. Together, we put America First and returned power to the American People.

"The corrupt government cartel is once again destroying our country. We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, and allowed Russia to devastate Ukraine, China to threaten Taiwan, and Iran to build a nuclear weapon. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, crime is rampant like never before, terrorists are invading our southern border, and the economy is in a recession. We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, freedom, and faith.

"Our populist movement to Make America Great Again is the only force on earth that will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. I will never stop fighting for you, the American People, against the failed political establishment. I take the slings and arrows for you so that we can have our country back. Together, we will finish the job of saving our country once and for all and raise the next generation of strong American Patriots and Leaders."
