Former US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his intention to run for the 2024 presidential election on November 15, putting an end to any suggestion of a possible delay after the results of the mid-term elections.
The former president’s campaign adviser, Jason Miller, has stated this on the podcast of former Trump ideological adviser Steve Bannon, War Room, where he has stated that “it will be a very professional and very formal announcement,” according to ‘The Hill’.
“President Trump is going to announce on Tuesday that he’s running for president. And it’s going to be a very professional and very elaborate announcement,” Miller said.
In recent days there had been speculation that Trump could delay the launch of his candidacy after the Republican Party has not reaped a “red wave” in the ‘midterms’ as many of its members predicted, and after the candidates more extremists have generally had poor results in the elections.
However, the tycoon’s campaign adviser has stressed that the results of the mid-term elections do not have to affect the presentation of his candidacy for the Republican primaries, although he has acknowledged that he has suggested to Trump that he delay the announcement until after the second round in the race for the Senate in the state of Georgia, the aforementioned newspaper has reported.
The former US president announced last week that on November 15 he intends to make “a big announcement” at his Florida residence in Mar-a-Lago, which will presumably be his decision to run for the White House again.
The decision, however, has been questioned by some within the Republican Party, where Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has garnered support after his resounding victory against the Democratic candidate in last Tuesday’s election.
The not-so-good results expected among the Republicans in the ‘midterms’ have caused some culprits to be pointed out within the organization, such as Trump, although so far the former president continues to obtain great support from the bases.
