Trump Hints Again at 2024 Presidential Run

Former President Donald Trump on Aug. 7 hinted he may run for the White House again in 2024 but stopped short of announcing his bid.

In response to a reporterโ€™s question about announcing his candidacy before or after the 2022 midterm elections, Trump said, โ€œitโ€™s not a long period, regardless, whether you go before or after, certainly not a very long period of time.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s coming,โ€ Trump said, โ€œand I think people are going to be very happy.โ€

โ€œOur country has never been in a position like this. We lost everything. Weโ€™ve lost energy independence. Weโ€™ve lost our prestige. Weโ€™ve lost every single thing you can lose,โ€ Trump said.

โ€œSo weโ€™ll be making an announcement in the not-too-distance future.โ€

The former president was asked the same question earlier this year in an interview with the New Yorker, saying he is undecided on whether to announce a run before or after the midterms.

Trump made the remarks on Saturday before taking the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas.

In a customary straw poll ahead of the presidentโ€™s CPAC speech, 69 percent of the attendees said they would back him as the GOP presidential nominee for 2024. In second place, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won 24 percent backing among attendees.

In the wide-ranging speech, Trump criticized Democrat policies, taking particular aim at Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for backing a new $739 billion spending bill, which includes heavy investments into the leftโ€™s โ€œgreenโ€ agenda.

Trump predicted that Manchin and Sinema will lose their seats for backing the bill, which Democrats have titled the โ€œInflation Reduction Act.โ€ He suggested the bill would only worsen inflation, which is already at a 40-year high.

โ€œWe had the greatest economy in the history of the world. We had no inflation,โ€ Trump said.

Sinema and Manchin will be up for re-election in 2024. Trump won West Virginia by nearly 39 points in 2020. He narrowly lost in Arizona but maintains that election irregularities and fraud may have contributed to the outcome.
