White House News From Trump
The announcement, which Trump had been hinting at for months, comes as the embattled former president faces multiple criminal and civil investigations and as his party is grappling with a worse-than-expected showing in the midterm elections, raising questions about the former president's power over the GOP.
Former President Donald Trump has officially announced he is running for president in 2024, marking his third bid for the White House. Saying "We are a nation in decline" and "America's comeback starts right now," Trump made the announcement Tuesday night in an address from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump, who lost his reelection bid in 2020 but did not concede and has continued to spread false claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" and "stolen," repeatedly teased another run for the White House throughout the last year and told a rally crowd last week to expect a "big announcement." Trump's election falsehoods culminated on Jan. 6, 2021, in a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol that was carried out by pro-Trump supporters, for which nearly 1,000 people have now been criminally charged. The former president has repeatedly downplayed the riot and has vowed to pardon those charged in the attack if he becomes president again.
Trump, who was twice impeached during his four years in office but was not convicted either time, maintains a tight grasp on his Republican base. Six in 10 Republicans back the former president as their party's leader, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll from earlier this year.#
In the hour-long speech, the former president pitched the successes of his administration as a "golden age," saying, "our country was on track for an amazing future, because I made big promises to the American people -- and unlike other presidents, I kept my promises."
In contrast, Trump said, "For millions of Americans, the past two years under Joe Biden have been a time of pain, hardship, anxiety and despair."
