Former President Donald Trump has officially announced he is running for president in 2024, marking his third bid for the White House.
Saying «We are a nation in decline» and «America’s comeback starts right now,» Trump made the announcement Tuesday night in an address from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
The announcement, which Trump had been hinting at for months, comes as the embattled former president faces multiple criminal and civil investigations and as his party is grappling with a worse-than-expected showing in the midterm elections, raising questions about the former president’s power over the GOP.
Trump, who lost his reelection bid in 2020 but did not concede and has continued to spread false claims that the 2020 election was «rigged» and «stolen,» repeatedly teased another run for the White House throughout the last year and told a rally crowd last week to expect a «big announcement.»
The third presidential run for Trump, who transformed himself from a real estate mogul into a reality TV star before becoming the self-described «MAGA king,» comes at an unprecedented point in American history that sees a former one-term president who never conceded his election loss enter a bid to regain power as the frontrunner for his party’s nomination.
Trump’s election falsehoods culminated on Jan.
