Former United States President Donald Trump has announced that he will seek the Republic Party nomination to contest in the 2024 presidential election.
“In order to make America great and glorious again I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States,” Trump said on Tuesday (local time). “It was only the beginning to rescue the American dream,” he further added.
The announcement comes in the wake of mid-term elections held in the US.
CNN reported that Trump’s paperwork establishing his candidacy landed with the Federal Election Committee shortly before he delivered his announcement at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida waterfront estate.
Democrats have been leading in 50 seats of the US Senate while Republicans continue to take lead in 49 seats, The Washington Post reported. Democrats have been leading in 207 seats while Republicans have been leading in 217 seats in the US House.
Trump in recent months has been hinting that he would run in the presidential elections.
Talking about Republican Party, the former US President said that his party has become much bigger, much stronger, much more powerful [and] can do much more good for the country.
He also said that Russia’s war in Ukraine would “never have happened” if he was President
“Even the Democrats have admitted that,” Trump said.
For the record, no Democrats have said that Russia’s war in Ukraine would not have happened if Trump was President, Trump added.
Former US President also promised not to give Biden “four more years.” “I will ensure Joe Biden does not receive four more years,” Trump said.
