Breaking: Trump Calls Third-Party Speculation ‘Fake News’ in CPAC Speech

Former president Trump disavowed speculation that he would start a third party on Sunday, in his first public speech since leaving office.

Since Trump’s defeat at the hands of Joe Biden in November, some Republicans have supported the creation of a third party as a vehicle for the former president. However, Trump dismissed the idea in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Fla.

You know they kept saying, ‘he’s going to start a brand new party.’ We have the Republican Party: it’s going to unite and be stronger than ever before,” Trump said.

“I am not starting a new party. That was fake news,” the former president added. “Wouldn't that be brilliant? Let's divide our vote so that we can never win.”

However, Trump indicated he could run for president in 2024, and again implied that he had not lost the election to Biden.

“Actually as you know they just lost the White House,” Trump said, referring to Democrats. “I might even decide to beat them for a third time.”
