On Saturday, President Donald Trump teased a presidential run during a rally in Georgia. "We're going to take back the House in 2022," Trump said "And then in 2024, and hopefully I won't have to be a candidate, we're going to win back the White House again." Trump was campaigning on behalf of GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. Perdue and Loeffler are competing in the Senate runoff election next month against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
The Daily Beast is reporting that Donald Trump is considering hosting a campaign event for a 2024 presidential bid in January. The event might fall on the same day as President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20. The Daily Beast cited sources close to the president. They reported that Trump is attempting to stay relevant even as the world prepares for a Biden administration. Business Insider reports the discussions of a 2024 campaign event mark the latest move in Trump's attempt to derail the start of Biden's presidency.
Major news outlets including CNN, MSNBC, and the Associated Press called the election on Saturday for former Vice President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spent Saturday golfing at his golf club in Virginia. According to Business Insider, Biden was named the winner after his lead in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania surpassed 30,000 votes. Insider and its election partner, Decision Desk HQ, projected the race in the former Vice President's favor on Friday. Not long before major networks announced that Biden was the projected winner, Trump falsely claimed victory in the election.
While Joe Biden has publicly announced he expects to win the election, President Donald Trump does not plan to concede. Business Insider reports Trump has continued to push ahead with several lawsuits in a last-minute effort to halt states' vote counts or contest results. But sources say aides see it more as a 'slapdash legal effort' that has not borne fruit--nor is likely to. What's more, Trump's continual false claims about voter fraud and a stolen election have reportedly also made some aides uneasy. As they quietly retreat, others are looking for 2024 targets they can focus their political ambitions on.
President Donald Trump is on the brink of losing the 2020 election. Trump's former chief of staff predicted that the president would run again in 2024, and maybe even in 2028. On Thursday, Mick Mulvaney told an Irish think tank that he "absolutely" expected Trump to run next time if he loses this presidential election. Mulvaney spoke in his capacity as US envoy to Northern Ireland. "I would absolutely expect the president to stay involved in politics and would absolutely put him on a shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024." "He doesn't like losing."
