Trump is expected to stage his first post-presidential rally in the Cleveland area on June 26, and follow up with an event in the Tampa area on July 3, said two aides familiar with the planning.
"Rallies are his ticket to media coverage," Pitney said. "Another feature of rallies is appealing to him. He’s an applause junkie, and he needs his fix."
Trump is also planning to get involved in the 2022 congressional and state elections, including Republican primaries in which he is backing GOP challengers to lawmakers who have been critical of him. The events will also allow him "to reconnect with his supporters, which also means gathering and updating the contact information that his political team has for those who attend his rallies," Brown said.
At each of these stops, Trump continued to make false claims about election fraud in 2020, while generally avoiding discussion of the Jan. 6 insurrection designed to try and overturn his election loss.
