I’m glad to hear that he plans to give it a run, but I do wonder about how “voting will be different in 2024” especially as he cannot do much to influence the voting systems in place, the congress presumably can do certain things and states might do certain things, remains to be seen whether much will really happen on that front.
A more promising avenue for Trump than voting reform would be to broaden his appeal to more women and blacks, and the younger voters.
Intrinsically, most of the MAGA agenda should appeal to all citizens of America. His opponents try to make it sound like a dog whistle for white males, but open borders, a lack of international security, and the vast corruption of Democratic politics, are all problems for all citizens equally. Trump has to focus in on that aspect, that what he stands for is worth supporting by all citizens.
The bombastic and insulting Trump is fine if you just want to hold on to that solid base but all the Democrats need to do to defeat the solid base is what they just did twice in a row and will probably do again (I hope not, but what prevents it from happening again in 2024?). We need to see a more reasoned and outreaching Donald Trump. He’s not going to lose any votes by being a bit less edgy. Also I would like to hear assurances that an administration will be assembled without any swamp creatures this time around. A lot of good things happened in Trump 1.0 but the task ahead requires that a lot of other good things must happen in 2.0, and some of those cannot be done with deep state plants in key positions.
The question is, of course, will we all survive to 2024 to take part in this? If somehow 2023 could just come and go in one day that would be a good thing.
Final point: I would like to see a show of unity in the patriotic wing of the Republican Party. Anyone who is not an enemy is a potential asset. Both de Santis and Cruz, for example, as long as they don’t announce rival bids for the presidency, should otherwise be treated as friends. Cruz in particular could play a useful role in Trump 2.0, maybe as Attorney General. De Santis should just stick to business in Florida until 2028. It would be a pretty good ticket as already suggested, Trump-Lake, sounds like a good name for a casino resort too. :)
His term as Governor ends in 2026. After that, he has decisions to make.

The anti-Trumpers and RINOs need to be called to the carpet here. Many of them complain that non-politician Trump is a brash, a loose cannon, and insulting man. Having experience with people from New York City, his unfiltered way of speaking found in common with 10,000,000+ people who live there. Even Chuck Schumer ... who is given 24/7 cover by the media.
The political class with their media behind them have trained the US population to accept their lies because they are spoken so eloquently. Insults have always been part of American politics. Many anti-Trumpers and RINOs don’t consider their perfumed insults and political vomit, their backstabbing and working to undermine their party when it comes to Trump as coarse, uncivilized, insulting, or destructive. So I would get all the RINOs running in the primary to pledge up front that whoever wins the nomination, they pledge to support publicly the GOP nominee - and that includes if Trump wins or loses. Bet many of the RINOs wouldn’t make the pledge... because they know right now, the Trump base is the foundation of the party and will vote in the primaries. The sun has set on RINO control of the primaries.
