Former President Donald Trump has told several allies he could announce a 2024 presidential run Monday night at a rally for Ohio Republican Senate candidate JD Vance, The Post has learned.
A well-connected Republican source said the 45th president was “telling people he might tonight, but it’s not a done thing.”
Trump told several prominent conservatives over the past two weeks that he would formally throw his hat in the ring during his 8 p.m. appearance with Vance in Dayton, Ohio.
But it’s unclear if the notoriously mercurial 76-year-old intends to actually do so on the eve of an election in which Republicans are favored to win the House and possibly the Senate.
“It’s not inconceivable that this is just Trump doing Trump things,” the source said, adding: “This all could be a ploy by Trump to get people to pay attention to the rally.”
“This is so classic … We’re not going to know until he gets on stage.”

I would be surprised. He will announce on the 14th, hopefully while he testifies at the kangaroo court.
I hope so. The inertia this Man creates is unstoppable. Those that may be sitting on the fence will be energized.
The Don is Thee Man!!
TRUMP 2024. Accept NO Substitutes.
Trump has teased and backed backed off announcing so many times.
My theory: he has been warned by global management to stay out of it “or else.”
If he or any of his family ends up harmed after officially announcing, then we know.
The source is unnamed.
Yet here you are, doing exactly what you complain about, making it about your TDS, the night before the midterms.
Can’t you guys just appreicate and just stop taking foolish shots at Trump for once? Trump isn’t making it about him. It is about saving America. He is helping JD Vance and all the rest get more people to hear from these great candidates. If he only cared about himself he would have taken his ball and gone home after 2020. Appricate more and stop the knee-jerk hate.
I doubt my post on FR will explode the news cycle or energize dem turnout tomorrow, which is sort of the whole point.
i think he looks good in a Tie. Sharp Dressed Man. LOL!
If what we think is gonna happen tomorrow happens, Trump doesn’t have to demean himself with that moronic clown show.
Personally, I voted for Trump and have donated to Trump on more than one occasion, but right now, at this moment, it is not about him. I would vote for Trump again, but he has shown a penchant for making self-induced, forced errors. As others have pointed out, sticking by Fauci (okay, right before an election), but Birx? How about Chris Wray, and Jeff Sessions, or almost any other person he picked for almost any job. Then, talking to Bob Woodward, as if he was magically going to schmooze this scorpion.
Hopefully, this is all a ruse to get people to tune in, but if not, and especially if it adversely scares away a bunch of fragile soccer moms, or NY voters possibly voting Republican for the first time in their natural lives, then yeah, I will be upset.
With all respect my good friend, it’s not TDS when people who would otherwise support Trump recognize this would be be a ridiculous act of self idolization, even for Trump.
In my opinion, TDS is when someone refuses to admit anything that Trump does is of value, which I don’t think is the opinion of many, if any, here.
Several are just tired of the incessant Trump talk when this election has very little, if anything, to do with him, and this move would ratchet that focus up to even more unbearable levels. Thanks.
Blah blah blah. GO Trump! Do whatever the hell you think is best!!!
The DOJ must be close to handing down their indictment.
“The DOJ must be close to handing down their indictment.”
This is what may driving this story if it is true.
Trump has also worked very hard to elect conservative and populist Republicans. He's stumped all over the country appearing at rallies for candidates. Most of them owe him their primary wins and, if they win tomorrow, they'll owe a good chunk of the victory to Trump.
That said, I think he should not announce until early next year. Most people will want a breather from politics at least during the holiday season. I don't know what his rush is.
He needs to do it tomorrow night. I believe they will arrest him on Wednesday, otherwise.
Not a good idea! We are on the edge of a resounding victory for conservatism. Let’s not do anything to upset the apple-cart.
Yep. He is trying to get more of an audience tonight.
I would doubt he will announce. Hopefully he doesn’t.
I wish folks would stop trying to out maneuver Trump. Unless you’re as successful as he is. I’m sure he has his reasons if he does announce.
can’t this guy keep it in the pants one time? I’m really sorry it isn’t about him right now, but we really need to not explode the news cycle the night before the freaking midterms.
So says one of the original NeverTrumpers.
Looks like President Trump has been living rent free in all of the 2015-2016 FR NeverTrumpers heads, all this time.
They’re baaaaack, and, chomping at the bit to attack the ONE guy the DS hates.
He won't, just media drivel in lieu of actual work and journalism.
