Veteran political adviser Dick Morris is back with a new book after a couple of health scares kept him out of the fray. He believes that his recovery from tongue cancer was God’s way of giving him a chance to help Donald Trump get re-elected in 2024.
Morris wrote The Return: TRUMP'S BIG 2024 COMEBACK as a kind of strategic playbook for the former President, as well as Republican voters who feel that they were cheated in 2020. At the forefront, he answers 3 questions everyone is asking:
He answers these questions with the following:

These bold proclamations are not borne of pure speculation, but of ample firsthand experience advising the President during the 2020 campaign. Morris and Trump’s relationship goes all the way back to their early lives, when Morris’s father, a real estate attorney, helped Trump’s early deals in NYC, with mutual friend Roy Cohn providing the grease for the palms of the local politicians. Morris details their relationship and his observations of how Trump responded to real-time polling numbers leading up to the contested November 2020 election.

Ultimately, Morris is not interested in re-litigating the results of that election. He says that Biden won more votes, and that Republicans must learn how the rules of the game are played in the new era of mail-in ballots, etc. His recommendation to the party is to focus on electing governors and secretaries of state in key swing states, who can restore election integrity through reasonable measures to prevent fraudulent voting (i.e., ending same-day registration, requiring ID and signature verification, etc.), as well as default mail-in voting, which lends itself to ballot harvesting and other borderline legal practices. Morris takes a strong stance against the federalization of state election processes, epitomized by Nancy Pelosi’s HR 1 (aka the “For the People Act”), which would, “vest the power to draw district lines and adopt other regulations about elections in the federal Department of Justice and the US attorney general, appointed by the president.”
This goes expressly against the founders’ vision of the states setting their own laws on how they conduct elections, and according to Morris represents an attempt to turn the United States into a one-party country.
After documenting myriad discrepancies and suspicious outcomes unearthed in audit reports in swing states, Morris concludes that these abuses will continue until and unless the courts or the governors demand accountability.
While many Republicans may be eager to see a fresh face leading the GOP, Morris argues that the nominee in 2024 “has to be Trump,” and that his rough exterior is critical to success in the next election. “Nice guys finish last,” he notes, and Trump has a great deal of popularity among demographics like Hispanics and high-school educated voters that have traditionally leaned Democratic. Part II speculates on what might happen in the mid-terms, and predicts that Trump will announce shortly after the 2022 elections are over.
Putting on his political adviser hat, Morris dedicates Part III of the book to a winning message that blames Biden and the Democrats for making America “unrecognizable.” In the current America, election fraud is normalized, inflation and crime run rampant, Critical Race Theory and gender indoctrination are taught in our schools, and free speech is vanishing. None of these trends are popular, and Trump has an opportunity to present himself as both a challenger to an unpopular incumbent, as well as an “incumbent” who can run on a solid track record. Will these stances be enough to attract the voters needed to overcome the head wins from the electoral system? Morris thinks so, but only time will tell.
