Former US President Donald Trump has fueled speculation about re-running the 2024 election. “For me, I’ve already made this decision,” Trump told New York Magazine on Thursday — but without saying whether he wanted to run again or not.
According to the paper, Trump then added in a conspiratorial tone that the question of whether he would announce his “big decision” before or after the important congressional elections in four months’ time was: “Am I going to go with it before or after? That’s going to be my big one.” decision.”
Would be 78 years old in the next election
Trump has repeatedly flirted with renewed candidacy since his deselection. In the United States, a person can serve two terms in office, consecutive or not. Trump would be 78 years old in just over two and a half years.
The political career changer, ex-real estate mogul and reality TV star is still refusing to admit his 2020 defeat to new president Joe Biden. He claims to have been robbed of victory by mass electoral fraud, but has never provided any proof. Biden received 81 million votes in the election and a clear majority of voters. More than 74 million Americans voted for Trump.
Trump has been heavily criticized because his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6 after a presidential meeting, where Congress was then about to declare Biden’s victory officially. Trump then faced a second impeachment trial in Congress, where he was charged with “inciting sedition.” A majority of the senators voted against the Republican, but the two-thirds majority needed for a Senate conviction was missed.
