His adviser, Jason Miller, said this Friday (11) that Donald Trump will announce his intention to run again for president of the United States in 2024 next Tuesday.

The former president, who will turn 78 in the next election, is flirting with the prospect of running for president again as he campaigns for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. The businessman warned he will make “a very big announcement” next Tuesday, the 15th.

“President Trump will announce on Tuesday that he will run for president,” Miller told Steve Bannon, Trump’s former adviser, on his “War Room” podcast.

“It will be a very professional, very measured ad,” he added.

Miller stated that Trump said, “There is no doubt about it, of course I will run.”

Trump’s big Florida announcement comes after a disappointing race for several candidates the businessman supported in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

The expected “red tide”, the color of the Republicans, did not materialize and the conservative party is expected to gain a smaller-than-expected majority in the House of Representatives.

“Trump is the Republican Party’s Biggest Loser,” the Wall Street Journal said in an editorial Thursday, citing the party’s disappointing midterm results.

Trump’s early entry into the race is seen as a possible strategy to protect the former president from possible accusations for his seizure of top-secret White House documents, his efforts to cancel the 2020 election, and the attack by his supporters. last year.

It may also be aimed at weakening Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, his main potential contender for the Republican presidential nomination, who emerged as one of the biggest winners in Tuesday’s election.
