Donald Trump announces his candidacy for the presidency in 2024

Donald Trump, Tuesday, November 15, launched into the race for the White House, launching a campaign that promises to be ruthless in his Republican camp, which is bruised and divided by disappointment from the last election.

The former president presented US election authorities with his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, a first formal step, before delivering a speech in the grand ballroom of his luxurious Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. I announce my candidacy for the presidential elections.Advertise to an audience of dedicated activists.

During his speech, Donald Trump emphasized that America is ” back “. The businessman returned in poetic terms to his first term, describing a country enjoying peace, prosperity and respect on the international stage, and vowed that Joe Biden Don’t spend another four years. to the White House. “Joe Biden embodies the failures of the left and the corruption of Washington”The ex-president was charged.

This new nomination is the third for the 70-year-old in the White House. When Donald Trump came to power in November 2016 by creating the biggest modern political upset, he made a mockery of all the customs during his presidency. In 2021, he left Washington in shambles after he failed to seek re-election against Joe Biden — a defeat he never acknowledged.

It also foreshadows a possible rerun of the 2020 presidential election: President Biden recently reaffirmed it “intention” to run for a second term, despite his keenness to postpone any final decision until next year.

Mixed performance of the Republican camp in the midterm elections

Rumors have swirled in recent weeks about an imminent announcement by Donald Trump, the then-president determined to ride on the expected success of the Republicans in the November 8 election to regain power.

But the “giant wave” Conservatives so confidently predicted that it didn’t materialize, far from it: President Biden’s Democratic Party is keen this weekend to retain control of the Senate, and could even expand its majority, disappointing pollsters’ predictions. Republicans are likely to take the House from Democrats, but with a much smaller majority than expected.

This more than mixed performance of the Great Old Party (GOP), particularly from candidates dubbed Donald Trump, has tarnished the reputation of the kingmaker in the pulpit. Many influential voices in the conservative camp also called on the real estate mogul to step down from the Republican leadership, and cast a shadow over his presidential projects.

DeSantis, the new star of the hard right

A portion of the conservative electorate has already turned to another potential contender for the White House and Florida resident: its governor, Ron DeSantis. The 40-year-old new star of the far-right, who is coming out buoyed by the midterm elections, emphasized his fight. “I just started”. He did not hesitate to denounce, on Tuesday, b “Very disappointing performance” From the rest of his camp in this election, being careful not to name Donald Trump directly.

With Donald Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, his former chief of diplomacy, Mike Pompeo, and Virginia’s governor, Glenn Youngkin…the battle for the Republican nomination promises to be bitter.

But for now, the former president maintains undeniable popularity with his base, and a wave of red hats that keep pouring into his campaign meetings. The majority of opinion polls still give him the winner of the Republican primary.

However, an obstacle stands between Donald Trump and the White House: the businessman’s many legal problems could, in fact, end in his removal.
