Trump has been flirting with another presidential candidacy for a long time. Now the moment has come once again when he flirts with it through his advisors. After the important congressional elections next week, however, this time it could really be time.
According to sources close to him, Donald Trump may want to use the expected tailwind for the Republicans in the congressional elections to announce his candidacy in the election of the next US president. That said three advisors to the former president of the Reuters news agency. With the announcement of his candidacy in the coming weeks, he could also slow down potential competitors in his party, said the advisors.
However, they also thought it possible that Trump could delay the decision on a bid for the White House. Trump himself was initially unable to comment.
A person familiar with Trump’s plans said the ex-president plans to announce his reelection campaign shortly after next Tuesday’s congressional elections. Trump looked around for potential employees. The person said they were contacted by Trump’s team to explore their interest in working together.
According to polls, Republicans are likely to gain control of the US House of Representatives and control of the Senate. Legislative projects by Democratic President Joe Biden could then be blocked for the next two years. Since leaving office, Trump has repeatedly flirted with a renewed candidacy at rallies. “I think Trump will run in 2024,” said one of Trump’s advisers. Another person with ties to Trump said, “He’s going to want the speculation to go on for months.”
