Former President Donald Trump responded to cheering supporters at the Republican Party of Florida Freedom Summit at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida.
This event marked his continued involvement in the Republican Party and his potential candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
Trump has launched an appeal against being barred from Maine's Republican presidential primary ballot next year.
This decision came after his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Secretary of State Shenna Bellows cited Trump's role in the incident as grounds for disqualification, preventing him from featuring on the ballot scheduled for March 5.
As the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Trump has taken the matter to the state's Superior Court, seeking a reversal of Bellows' ruling.
His legal team contests the claim that he incited an insurrection and challenges the authority of Bellows to exclude him from the primary ballot.
Former Maine lawmakers advocated for Trump's exclusion, citing a provision in the US Constitution that disallows individuals from holding office if they engage in insurrection after taking an oath to the United States.
This move echoes various challenges brought against Donald Trump's candidacy under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment by advocacy groups and anti-Trump voters.
These challenges stem from allegations that Trump fueled his supporters with false election claims, urging them to storm the Capitol and disrupt Congress's certification of Joe Biden's victory.
The legal battle extends beyond Maine, with Colorado also barring Trump from its primary ballot.
The issue is expected to reach the US Supreme Court, potentially offering a nationwide resolution to the questions surrounding Trump's eligibility.
Despite these legal hurdles, opinion polls indicate Trump's significant lead in the Republican nominating contest, which is set to commence state-by-state on January 15. Trump's campaign condemns these ballot challenges as an "assault on American democracy."
