BEDMINSTER, NJ – New Jersey’s most controversial resident, former President Donald Trump, has left the state to resume his fall and winter residency at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The move comes just as South Florida gears up for its tourist season and as Trump prepares for a primary campaign against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Trump has been residing in New Jersey during the summer months and his departure marks a significant shift in his campaign operations. Staff and resources will now be oriented towards South Florida, indicating a strategic move in the former president’s political planning.
Having purchased Mar-a-Lago in 1985, Trump has long had a special connection to the estate.
During his time as president, he referred to it as his Winter White House, making the venue a notable gathering place for Republican party members and supporters.
While New Jersey is no stranger to divisive figures, Trump’s presence in the state has always garnered significant media attention and public opinion. His departure to focus on political endeavors in Florida will undoubtedly continue to be a point of discussion both in New Jersey and the broader national landscape.
This shift to Florida is expected to have implications for the upcoming primary campaign against Governor DeSantis and potentially for the overall political climate as the tourist season approaches.
