President Trump Departs For Florida At The End Of His Presidency JOINT BASE ANDREWS, MARYLAND - JANUARY 20: President Donald Trump speaks to supporters at Joint Base Andrews before boarding Air Force One for his last time as President on January 20, 2021 in Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Trump, the first president in more than 150 years to refuse to attend his successor's inauguration, is expected to spend the final minutes of his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Jason Million, a senior campaign advisor of Trump, said that the former President made his goal clear: to win back the Senate and the House for Republicans in 2022. Miller added that there is nothing that is actively planning regarding an effort outside that goal.
However, according to CNN, Miller noted that it's up to Republican senators to become more serious, referencing Trump's upcoming Senate impeachment trial. Last week several Trump advisers confirmed he contemplates launching a third party, but those advisers change their statement saying the idea is not severe.

Republicans won't join Democrats in convicting and barring Trump

More than a dozen GOP senators made it clear through interviews that most Republicans are likely to acquit the former President. Meanwhile, few are at risk of flipping to convict Trump unless more evidence will emerge or political dynamics within their party changed. Republicans believe the arguments that claim the proceedings are unconstitutional will allow them out of convicting Trump.
