Is Trump Running For President In 2024
It is unclear whether Trump will run for president again, but he has been telling his allies he wants to do so. But many advisers don’t want to play any part in a potential bid because they fear a bitter battle with the president. As of now, Trump is saying he will make a decision in the not too distant future. He has said that the American people are “rightly hungry for what’s next.”
If Trump runs for president in 2020, he would trigger Federal Election Commission requirements, limiting the amount of individual donations he can receive. Polls have shown that Trump will gain slightly more support than Biden in a hypothetical rematch. A recent poll by the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll showed that 45 percent of GOP voters would support him in a rematch in 2024, while only 42 percent would support Biden.
If Trump were to run for president in 2024, he would face primary challengers. Potential opponents include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. If Trump runs for president in 2024, he would become the seventh president to run for president after leaving office. The last person who did this was Franklin Roosevelt, who finished a distant second to Woodrow Wilson, with 435 electoral votes.
While Trump has hinted at a presidential bid in 2024, he has not declared an official campaign committee. The former president would have to register an official political committee with the Federal Election Commission and file financial reports to get approval for a bid. And if he does run, he would lose control of his unmatched war chest.
A few prognosticators say that another candidate could run for president in 2024, but few expect anyone to take his place. Potential challengers see political vulnerabilities in Trump, and an opening in the Republican Party looking for an alternative. However, Trump’s team believes that the GOP base will rally behind him and that the Republican gains in the Senate will give him momentum.
Recent polls show that a majority of Americans do not want Trump to run for president in 2024. This includes independents, Democrats, and white evangelical Christians. Despite this, more than two-thirds of Republicans and 70 percent of 2020 campaign voters support a Trump presidential bid.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has indicated that he will consider a presidential run in 2024. He has made appearances in Iowa and New Hampshire in advance of the midterms, and has reported more than $18 million in campaign contributions. Other potential candidates include Sen. Tim Scott, Rick Scott, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. The latter has said he will wait until November to decide on his presidential bid.
Mike Pence’s candidacy has received criticism for his support of the president, but has avoided overt criticism of Trump. He has been active in early 2024 caucus states and has campaigned with conservative Republican candidates who have embraced falsehoods. He has also made statements to defend U.S. military assistance to Ukraine.
