The embattled former President of the United States, Donald Trump has announced that he will be running for president in 2024, laying out an aggressively conservative agenda that includes executing people convicted of selling drugs.
The 76-year-old officially launched a campaign for president in 2024, filing papers with the Federal Election Commission in which he declared himself a candidate for the presidency and established a new campaign committee.
By launching his campaign now, just a week after Republicans lost key midterm races, Trump was also rejecting the counsel of current and former advisors who had cautioned him against declaring himself a candidate for president so soon after a defeat for his party.
Speaking to his supporters who were gathered in an ornate American flag-draped ballroom at his palatial Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump said “America’s comeback starts right now. The voting will be much different. Are you getting ready?”
“This will not be my campaign. This will be our campaign all together,” he said to the cheering crowd.
He called for a “top-to-bottom overhaul and clean out of the festering rot and corruption of Washington, D.C.”
Trump pledged that “I’ll get that job done. That’s a very personal job for me. I take that very personally.”
“This campaign will be about issues, vision and success, and we will not stop, we will not quit, until we’ve achieved the highest goals and made our country greater than it has ever been before”.
Attacking President Joe Biden’s record in his first two years in office, Trump said “We are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation for millions of Americans”.
He then vowed that “I will ensure Joe Biden does not receive four more years.”
The former US number one also said he would demand a sweeping new slate of election restrictions, including requiring only paper ballots, only allowing voters one day to vote, requiring photo ID in order to vote and “all votes counted by election night.”
Meanwhile, several possible 2024 primary rivals are circling, chief among them is the governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, who bucked the tide and won a resounding reelection victory on November 8.
Recall that Trump lost the 2020 elections to Democrat Joe Biden after being impeached twice by the House of Representatives.
It is important to note that he is the target of multiple investigations into his conduct before, during and after his first term as president – which could ultimately result in his disqualification.
His family real estate and hotel empire is facing a sweeping fraud lawsuit in New York State that could permanently cripple its operations and slash his personal wealth.
Trump is also facing a probe in Georgia of his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, and his stashing of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
