Official launch of presidential campaign

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

@Kingsif (talk · contribs): Thanks for your recent edits. Hmm, the following seems nevertheless dubious, especially with the word "officially":

"U.S. President Donald Trump officially launches his re-election campaign for the 2020 United States presidential election at a rally in Orlando, Florida. (The Guardian)"

The campaign seems to have officially started in February 2017, per Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign#January 2017: Launch as well as (The Atlantic)(Fortune)(Orlando Weekly)(The Daily Dot). Should we simply remove the word "officially", or should we reword the sentence more substantively? Cheers --Edcolins (talk) 16:08, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Whatever reworking is more correct is good with me, but the coverage and Trump's speech itself does say that it was the kick-off yesterday. Kingsif (talk) 16:11, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I have amended the entry based on this source: "Although Tuesday's speech is being billed as the official beginning of Trump's 2020 bid, the businessman-turned-politician filed the paperwork officially announcing his bid within hours of his inauguration on January 20, 2017." This seems to be in line with Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign#January 2017: Launch. --Edcolins (talk) 16:28, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
