Former US President Trump wants to move back into the White House – and has now officially opened his election campaign for another candidacy. So far, he is officially the only candidate in the ranks of the Republicans.
With appearances in the states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, former US President Donald Trump has officially started his campaign for a presidential candidacy for the 2024 election.
In the small town of Salem, New Hampshire, Trump sharply criticized the “corrupt political establishment” and accused the incumbent Democratic government under incumbent President Joe Biden of massive mistakes. For example, Trump claimed that under his leadership there would never have been a Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
“Only chance to save our country”
The US needs a president who is “ready to go from day one”. “I’m angrier and more committed than ever,” said the 76-year-old. In his South Carolina speech, Trump stressed that the upcoming presidential election in 2024 was “our only chance to save our country”.
In both appearances, Trump reiterated his claim that he lost the last 2020 presidential election solely due to voter fraud. He was the real winner. There is no evidence for these claims.
So far no opponents
Trump is the only Republican to have officially announced his candidacy for the presidency. After the midterm elections for Congress in November, he declared that he wanted to start the race for the post of head of state for the third time.
Other potential candidates include Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence and ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. In polls, the greatest chance of success in a possible candidacy is attributed to the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.
Trump himself has been struggling with weakening poll numbers for months. Several Republican candidates supported by the ex-president ahead of the midterm elections performed weaker than expected in the polls.
