Several times in the past year, amid an array of legal troubles and scrutiny from the Congressional January 6th Committee in Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump has hinted that he was mulling another run at the White House in the next Presidential election in 2024.
Now Trump has said a “big announcement” is coming next week.
While speaking at a campaign rally for Ohio senate hopeful J.D. Vance Monday, the final day before Election Day, Trump took a moment for a bit of self-promotion.
“I'm going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump told a partisan Republican crowd, who cheered in response. “We want nothing to detract from the importance of tomorrow.”
Trump had previously teased this particular teaser the night before in Miami at another campaign rally. “I will probably have to do it again but stay tuned,” he said then. “Stay tuned to tomorrow night in the great state of Ohio.”
Trump surprised many analysts with his 2016 Presidential win, but the support he enjoyed in that campaign waned in certain parts of the country, leading to his defeat in his bid for a second term in 2020 at the hands of current President Joe Biden.
But Biden has also seen his approval rating dip thanks to steep worldwide rises in inflation and worries about the American economy.
Biden’s perceived vulnerability is part of the backdrop behind what could be Trump’s announcement of a third Presidential campaign next week, a decision he has heavily hinted at several times in the past year, even as he continues to perpetuate his false claims of a stolen 2020 election that led to the January 6th riots in the nation’s capital.
Trump’s most recent hint saw him state that he would “very, very, very probably” run again, but some reports have stated that Republican higher-ups urged Trump to hold off on his announcement until after the mid-term elections, so as not to steal the spotlight from the GOP candidates looking to win their way to public office and potentially flip Congress in favor of the Republican party.
