During a Saturday event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, former US President Donald Trump addressed voters and expressed that his renewed entry into politics was, as he put it, the "greatest comeback in history," calling the return a "righteous crusade" against current President Joe Biden.

In mid-November, a Michigan state court ruled that former Trump is eligible to stay on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot for the Republican Party after a local activist group Free Speech for People attempted to bar Trump from running for office by filing an “insurrection” lawsuit against him.

According to The Daily Caller news website, Trump was specifically referring to the comeback of the entire nation and not his own.

"It’s going to be the greatest comeback in history — I’m not talking about comeback politically because I don’t care about that — it will be the greatest comeback for a country."
 
The audience erupted in applause after Trump claimed the "crusade" would "free" the people of the country from Biden and the "criminals" in his current administration.

Other Republican contenders for President of the United States in 2024, such as Vivek Ramaswamy, are now focusing on Iowa. Primary elections will be held to choose Republican and Democratic candidates for the 2024 US presidential election.

This comes as a Messenger report last week revealed that a former top aide to Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is ditching his campaign to join former US President Donald Trump's campaign instead.

Brian Swenson, Ramaswamy's national political director, is allegedly taking on the new role of working with top Trump campaign advisor Susie Wiles

Republicans have 'duty' to launch Biden impeachment inquiry: US House

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that Republicans have sufficient votes to approve a formal impeachment inquiry against US President Joe Biden.

Johnson said last month that Republican lawmakers would very soon decide on whether to move forward with impeachment proceedings against the 46th president.
 
When questioned about the possibility of GOP members initiating such an inquiry, Johnson stated, "I believe we will. I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should."

The House Speaker emphasized that Republicans feel a duty to conduct the probe and asserted that they "cannot stop the process." He pledged that GOP lawmakers would not wield the investigation as a partisan political weapon against the Democratic Party.

“[House GOP conference chair] Elise [Stefanik] and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson noted.
