According to the latest rumors released by the media, former US President Donald Trump could announce his candidacy for the White House in the 2024 presidential election this early morning (Lisbon time), which has received more emphasis in recent hours.
Last week, November 14 was designated as the likely date for Donald Trump’s announcement.
However, CNN began claiming that the Republican would announce his third White House candidacy at the meeting set to take place this Monday in Ohio.
Republican Party sources told Efe that this hypothesis is “more than a rumor,” though they urged caution.
One of his allies, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, Representative from Florida, fueled this hypothesis throughout the day, noting via the social network Twitter that Trump should move forward because he “deserves all credit” for the conservatives’ expected victory in the meantime. this Tuesday. .
The weighted average of polls conducted by the website FiveThirtyEight indicates that Republicans have a 55% chance of winning power in the Senate and an 84% chance of regaining the House of Representatives.
“Trump should announce” [a recandidatura] this evening. Their candidates won the primaries. (…) We will win A LOT”Gaetz underlined on Twitter.
But according to the newspaper politicsMany Republicans urged the former president to wait for elections, in which the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate will be renewed, as well as governors of 36 states and three territories.
“To make our country successful, safe and glorious, I will very, very, very likely do it again”the Republican magnate stressed at a Nov. 4 rally in support of Senator Chuck Grassley.
At that meeting, Trump reiterated his baseless claims that 2020, the year Democrat Joe Biden won the White House, was the real winner.
Three days later, in another Florida campaign move in support of Senator Marco Rubio, he re-signed that he plans to take office in 2024, without specifying the possible date.
“Stay tuned”he said simply.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on this potential announcement Monday.
“It’s none of our business. What the former president does or doesn’t do is not something we focus on here.”he emphasized during a press conference.
