Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday from the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida that he will run for the White House for a third time in 2024, and Trump had previously presented his credentials to the U.S. Federal Election Commission. This is expected to pave the way for a bitter fight within the Republican Party for the presidential nomination.
Seeking a fresh showdown with Democratic President Joe Biden, Trump made the announcement at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, a week after the midterm elections failed to win the Republicans the number of seats they had hoped for in Congress. .
Trump vowed to prevent incumbent Joe Biden from being re-elected in 2024, telling his supporters, “I’ll make sure Biden doesn’t get another four years,” adding, “Our country can’t afford that.”
In a speech that lasted just over an hour, Trump addressed hundreds of his supporters in a hall adorned with several chandeliers and dozens of American flags, and Trump said in front of a crowd of his family members and donors: “To make America great again, I’m running my candidacy tonight. for the presidency of the United States.”
