Advisers say ‘like a moth to a flame’ the former president will run in 2024 as Joe Biden’s approval rating slumps to 40 per cent
Donald Trump is poised to launch a third run for the White House this month if Republicans win control of Congress in the midterm elections, according to advisers.
The former US president could use positive Republican results on Nov 8 as a launchpad for his 2024 campaign, and may declare in the following weeks.
A senior Trump adviser said: “I think like a moth to a flame Trump will run in 2024. I think that he wants to run, and announcing before Thanksgiving [on Nov 24] gives him a great advantage over his opponents, and he understands that.”
He has been sounding out potential staff about joining the effort, according to a source who spoke to Reuters. The source was approached by the campaign to gauge interest.
