Former President Donald Trump is considering launching another bid for the White House this month, three Trump advisers have said, while Mr Trump himself teased a strong possibility of a comeback during a rally in Iowa yesterday evening. Here’s what you need to know.
“And now, in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, I will very, very, very probably do it again,” the former president said during the rally last night, teasing a 2024 bid. “Get ready, that’s all I’m telling you, very soon. Get ready,” he added.
Donald Trump Strongly Hints That He Wants To Run For President In The 2024 Election
Trump was contacting confidantes to discuss possible scenarios as he looks to benefit from expected Republican wins in Tuesday’s midterms, his advisers said. “I think like a moth to a flame, Trump will run in 2024,” one senior adviser told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“I think that he wants to run and announcing before Thanksgiving gives him a great advantage over his opponents and he understands that.”
An announcement in the coming weeks could box out potential rivals for the party’s nomination, the advisers said, though they added it was possible the former president could still delay a decision or change his mind. A representative for Trump did not respond to a request for comment. One source familiar with Trump’s plans said he intends to announce his re-election campaign shortly after Tuesday’s elections and has been sounding out potential staff. The source was approached by the campaign to gauge interest.
Nonpartisan election forecasters and polls say it is highly likely Republicans will win a majority in the US House of Representatives and also have a shot at taking control of the Senate, which would give them the power to block President Joe Biden‘s legislative agenda for the next two years.
Trump also remains unpopular after his divisive four-year term that ended with the January 6th assault on the US Capitol by his followers, then two years during which he has continued to claim falsely that his election defeat was the result of fraud.
