Donald Trump, the former US President, will make a comeback to Washington DC on Tuesday. The Republican has not visited the American national capital since leaving the White House in January 2021.

Trump will be visiting Washington DC to deliver a policy speech before an allied think tank that has been crafting an agenda for a possible second term, Associated Press reported. It is unclear if Trump plans to announce another run for the White House.

“I believe it will be a very policy-focused, forward-leaning speech, very much like a State of the Union 5.0,” said Brooke Rollins, AFPI’s president. Composed of former Trump administration officials and allies, the nonprofit is widely seen as an “administration in waiting” that could quickly move to the West Wing if Trump were to run again and win.

Trump’s appearance in Washington — his first trip back since January 20, 2021, when President Joe Biden was sworn into office — comes as his potential 2024 rivals have been taking increasingly overt steps to challenge his status as the party’s standard-bearer.

They include former Vice President Mike Pence, who has been touting his own “Freedom Agenda” in speeches that serve as an implicit contrast with Trump, news agency AP reported.

“Some people may choose to focus on the past, but I believe conservatives must focus on the future. If we do, we won’t just win the next election, we will change the course of American history for generations,” Pence had planned to say in a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington on the eve of Trump’s visit

Trump has spent much of his time at the Mar-A-Lago, a club located in Flordia’s Palm Beach. After vacating the White House, Trump travelled straight to this club, which he has owned for years.
