After the disappointing results for the Republican Party in the US mid-term elections, the former president announced, Donald Trump, because he will run for president again in 2024. This, despite the fact that a number of politicians from his party attacked him and declared that “he will lead to defeat, the White House will remain in the hands of the Democrats”. Meanwhile, leading pollster Stagwell CEO Mark Penn revealed the former president’s chances of winning the presidency in 2024.
According to him, not only will Trump not win the presidency, but he won’t even get to be the Republican presidential candidate, and this is because “this is not his time.” Penn stressed that “there is so much national hostility against Trump, from the right and the left, but also against Biden. None of them is really the leader that this media is looking for. Mike Pence, Trump’s former deputy, has already publicly explained why he thinks the former president should not to run for elections”. He also added that “according to some polls, on the right side of the map, they show that this country was divided before the elections, and will be like that afterwards as well.”
As I recall, many in the Republican Party claimed after the midterm elections that most of the candidates who benefited from Trump’s support lost in the midterm elections, reflecting the “decline” in the popularity of the former president, and in his power to recruit new voters. former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, said that “the Republican Party loses time and time again in the elections, Trump puts himself before the party.” At the same time, the former chairman of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryansaid that “I think we now clearly know that we will lose if Trump is the Republican candidate.”
However, after a long period of insinuations and rumors, Trump recently officially announced that he intends to run for president in the upcoming elections, in 2024. Since Trump has only served one term as president, there is no bar for him to run again. Trump spoke and repeated the slogans that brought him victory in 2016: “To make America great again, I am announcing my candidacy tonight. Until two years ago we were a great nation and we will be a great nation again. America’s comeback begins now. Under our leadership we were a magnificent nation, We were strong and free. We are now in retreat and failing,” Trump added in his statement.
