Trump has spent most of the last two years undermining American democracy. Now he wants another chance at power.
After functionally giving up on being chief executive late in his first term while presiding over an unchecked pandemic and hundreds of thousands of American deaths, Trump would be asking for another shot at a job he’s only ever been fleetingly interested in carrying out. And he’d be reengaging with an electoral system and basic democratic principles that he has spent the last years single-mindedly fixed on eroding.
The reality will likely freeze much of the potential Republican presidential field. For the generation of Republican politicians who have molded themselves into Trumpist followers, there may be more to lose than gain in announcing a presidential campaign against their leader. The Republican National Committee — which will determine rules of engagement and any possible debates if there’s a primary — could very well remain under Trump’s control, via RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. Trump backed McDaniel for another two-year term.
The same caveats apply this time, but with different considerations. Declaring himself a candidate, and even filing the official paperwork to be one, doesn’t mean Trump will be in the race once the primaries begin. There are practical benefits to going through those motions, though. Being an official candidate would allow Trump to raise money that could fund activities like the large rallies his ego craves and keep his political brand alive.

Mary Trump: Trump is the most dangerous person to the GOPFormer President Trump is reportedly intending to announce his 2024 presidential bid this Tuesday, despite widespread Republican backlash following a poor Midterm election performance. The announcement comes amid a period of introspection for Republican elites, who are openly questioning Trump’s liability to the party. Trump’s niece Mary L. Trump warns that it won’t be so easy for Republicans to walk away from Trump. 'Donald Trump is the most dangerous person to the Republican party,' she says, adding that whether Trump actually runs for president or pretends to, he's not above digging up dirt on those who go against him. “Trump will burn everything down if he feels like he’s going down.”
