Donald Trump officials presented the documents for a 2024 presidential nomination on Tuesday as his supporters gathered at his Florida resort to make the announcement.
Bradley Crate, who has worked for Trump’s political organizations, filed papers with the US Federal Election Commission to create a commission called “Donald J. Trump for President 2024.”
Trump’s much-anticipated announcement at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, comes after a disappointing result for the GOP in last week’s midterm elections, which many blamed the real estate seller, the report told Reuters.
The unusually early start could well be aimed at fending off potential contenders for the party’s 2024 nomination, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 44, and Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence, 63.
Republicans are approaching the 218 seats they need to secure a majority in the 435-seat House of Representatives.
Sources close to the 76-year-old Trump say he intends to press on despite mixed results from his supporters, with defeats to Pennsylvania famed physician Mehmet Oz and New Hampshire’s Don Bolduc leaving Republicans missing a Senate majority.
While control of the House of Representatives remains moot, the “red wave” Republicans hoped would result in a large majority has not materialized, despite low public approval ratings for Democratic President Joe Biden.
Voter anger over the Supreme Court’s decision to end nationwide abortion rights outweighed concerns about high inflation.
A Reuters/Ipsos pre-election poll found that 53% of Americans and nearly one in four Republicans oppose Trump. The poll found a similar number of Americans opposed to Biden.
Trump will pursue his party’s nomination even as he faces difficulties on multiple fronts, including a criminal investigation into the removal of classified White House documents and a congressional subpoena related to his role in the attack on the US Capitol. September 6, 2021 on its supporters.
