- Former President Donald Trump is expected to announce Tuesday night that he is running for president in 2024, marking his third bid for the White House.
- The announcement, which Trump has been hinting at for months, would come as the embattled former president faces multiple criminal and civil investigations and as his party is grappling with a worse-than-expected showing in the midterm elections, raising questions about the former president’s power over the GOP.
The third presidential run for Trump, who transformed himself from a real estate mogul into a reality TV star before becoming the self-described “MAGA king,” would come at an unprecedented point in American history that would see a former one-term president who never conceded his election loss enter a bid to regain power as the frontrunner for his party’s nomination.
