Donald Trump’s flirtation with announcing a 2024 White House bid before the midterm elections is sending signals of self-doubt and political vulnerability, with Republican operatives saying the former president is motivating challenges to his supremacy over the party.
Trump would begin any presidential primary with overwhelming advantages in popularity, name identification, and resources. But pulling the trigger on a third White House campaign prior to Election Day this November, as Trump concedes is possible, might boomerang. Rather than box out potential 2024 opponents and clear the field, such a move by the former president could reek of fear, inviting more competition for the Republican nomination.

Could.
Looks like the writer has been reading FR. We talked about this the other day.
He’ll wait. It’s only 4 months.
He hasn’t announced. So why write an article about it?
This post is no surprise coming as it does from the pro-Kemp GOPe d-bag.
Anyone who challenges Trump is an absolute GOP elite deep-state RINO.
I am hoping there will be ZERO challengers
“reek of fear”
The only fear is in democrats’ heads, as they face the probability of defeat.
As for reeking, the only party that reeks is the democrat.
Why is everyone so anxious about this? If and when he is ready, he will do it.
Lets see how much cheatin’ RAT cheatin’ happens midterm.
Trump has to wait. His announcement will send Dem voters into overdrive.
I'd like to see Pompeo/DeSantis. Pompeo's previous roles give him a lot of foreign policy experience...which we need right now along with some sound economic and MORAL policies.
I think they are purposefully overcomplicating a simple equation.
Were things better for you as an individual during the Trump administration or were the better during the Biden administration?
And for rational, thinking people, its an obvious answer.
When they start getting into Trump’s moves reeking of fear- I don’t see where that even comes into the picture.
In my entire lifetime, our economy and future have never been so dismal. Even during the 2008 downturn\depression I never found it necessary to replace my perfectly fine furnace and AC system in my house to avoid a 5000-6000 dollar heating bill.
My hope is to get Trump for one more term, and then DeSantis for two.
Personally, I welcome competition. It’s clarifying knowing who your enemies are. Whether or not Trump declares before the November elections makes no difference. Trump, MAGA candidates and us will be attacked by the left. Other “reasonable” Republicans will receive the same treatment as John McCain. They start out being reasonable to the media only to be vilified when the the general election approaches.
Trump is trembling in fear that Hogan and Cheney might decide to run for President ......
Desantos/pompeo in 2028
I wish he wouldn’t.
The mid-terms don’t need to be about Trump. They need to be about joe biden and the extremist left clowns.
I'm looking for each states' requirements but can't find a date.
You folks are smarter than that. It’s all kabuki. Trump is playing along. He knows the left. Hopefully our friends at Fox won’t play.
