Former President Trump is expected to officially launch another White House bid on Tuesday, refusing calls from within his own party to fade away after his loyalists underperformed in this year's midterm elections.
The 76-year-old billionaire, whose 2016 win shocked America and the world, has summoned the press to his Florida mansion for a"very big announcement" at 9:00 pm Tuesday .
And delaying the announcement now, as some of his advisors have reportedly suggested to him, would be highly awkward considering Trump's boast that it would"perhaps be the most important speech given in the history of the USA."A 2024 White House bid would be Trump's third presidential campaign and -- if he wins his party's nomination -- the fifth national election with him as the Republican Party standard-bearer.
Trump then lost reelection in 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden -- Trump still refuses to accept defeat -- while Democrats won control of the 100-seat Senate with a de-facto majority due to Vice President Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote in the chamber split 50-50. The results have emboldened Trump's Republican detractors and sapped most of his political momentum heading into the Tuesday campaign launch."It's basically the third election in a row that Donald Trump has cost us the race, and it's like, three strikes and you're out," said Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a vocal Trump critic, Sunday on CNN.
"He blew the Midterms, and everyone despises him," said Trump, who has long been at loggerheads with McConnell. Trump's new White House pursuit will be hampered by the multiple investigations into his conduct before, during and after the presidency -- which could result in his disqualification.
