Trump may announce 2024 US presidential bid on November 15
The former United States president, Donald Trump, who campaigned for this year's midterm elections, may announce plans to run for US presidential election in 2024 on Tuesday, his adviser Jason Miller said. The revelation comes after months of speculations that he will be ready to re-enter the fray to make a White House comeback. Incumbent Trump had lost to Joe Biden in 2020 election.
Why does this story matter?
The development comes after the win of Republicans in mid-term elections. Meanwhile, Trump is facing several legal challenges, including numerous probes that might result in indictments. The list also includes an investigation into hundreds of classified documents the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and the ongoing state and federal probes regarding the 2020 US presidential election.
What exactly did Trump's adviser say?
"President Trump is going to announce on Tuesday that he will be running for president. And it is going to be a very professional, very buttoned announcement," Miller told in a radio show 'War Room'. According to him, Trump had iterated that 'there doesn't need to be any question' about his intentions to take another shot at the presidency.
Trump is 'fired up' for next elections
"Of course, I am running, I'm going to do this, and I want to make sure people know that I am fired up and we have got to get the country back on track," Miller quoted Trump as saying.
