Former U.S. president Donald Trump has announced that he is running for president in 2024.
The announcement took place at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. This will be Trump’s third presidential campaign. He was elected in 2016, and lost the 2020 election to current president Joe Biden.
Trump said “This campaign will be about issues, vision and success, and we will not stop, we will not quit, until we’ve achieved the highest goals and made our country greater than it has ever been before.”
The campaign announcement comes after an underwhelming performance by Republicans in the country’s midterm elections, which saw Democrats retain control of the U.S. senate.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who was re-elected by a landslide in the midterms, is expected to run against Trump in 2024, but hasn’t announced his candidacy.
