(Fwrd Axis) — Former President Donald Trump is reportedly gearing up to announce a bid for the White House in the third week of November, according to top aides.
While no specific date has been finalized, Trump is reportedly waiting until after the midterm elections to see how Republicans fare and would either push up or push back his announcement depending on the outcome. Those close to the former president have advised him to announce his intentions in a state he lost to President Joe Biden while others have said he should make the announcement in Florida, where he remains popular.
The news comes less than 24 hours after his rally in Sioux City, Iowa. Trump once again hinted at making another run for the White House, whipping his supporters into raucous applause.
“In order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, I will very, very, very probably do it again,” he told the crowd. “Get ready that’s all I’m telling you — very soon. Get ready.”
A Trump spokesperson declined to comment on the former president’s plans.
Back in August, FWRD AXIS News reported that the FBI’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida only added fuel to the fire to have him run again.
“If he wasn’t running before, he is now,” a person close to Trump said. “It pisses him off that they can do this to him. One way to get it to stop is to control the government again.”
Trump reportedly wants to move up the date of his official announcement but there is no evidence supporting that the raid will prove to boost Trump. However, what is evident is Fox News and other conservative outlets will push to say the government’s actions will provoke a backlash.
The news of Donald Trump announcing his 2024 run on November 14 was first reported by Axios.
