Trump weighs announcing 2024 run as early as this summer amid Jan. 6 revelations, allies say
The former president has repeatedly hinted at a 2024 run since he left office on Jan. 20, 2021, two weeks after the attempted insurrection and one week after the House impeached him for a second time.
David Jackson- Many advisers believe Donald Trump will run for president again in 2024.
- The one question: Whether Trump will announce this summer or after the November mid-term elections.
- Among the factors affecting Trump's timetable: a bevy of Jan. 6 investigations.
- Aides offer a traditional caveat: Trump could change his mind about anything at any time.
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump's prospective campaign to reclaim the presidency in 2024 faces legal and political jeopardy, but allies said some of the potential roadblocks – including the threat of prosecution – actually motivate him to run.
Trump is dealing with revelations about his conduct during the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pushback from Republicans and, above all, the prospect of an unprecedented indictment of a former president.
Despite these problems, Trump is considering a 2024 campaign and may make an announcement as early as this summer, said aides and allies discussing internal deliberations on condition of anonymity.
If anything, the attacks on him encourage Trump to run again, if only to confront his enemies, they said.
