Presidents who lost famous votes
The electorate has been misled only five times during the 200-year presidential election.
Los Angeles – If Donald Trump loses his re-election bid against Democratic rival B Biden in the 2020 election, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the 45th president’s political aspirations.
If Trump loses, he could seek re-election in 2024, according to the US Constitution.
The 22nd Amendment states, “No one shall be re-elected twice as President.” But, there is no limit to how often a candidate can run, and nothing will legally prevent Trump from trying to come back if he should lose this year.
Trump will certainly not be the first president to pursue such aspirations.
Grover Cleveland became President in 1884, lost his re-election bid against Benjamin Harrison in 1888, then won again in 1892 – defeating the current President Harrison.
Brian Lanza, a former adviser to Trump, told the BBC Radio 4 program that he believed Trump would be in a better position four years from now.
“Biden will have the opportunity to guide this country outside of COVID, and we will see what its successes and failures are. There is no one in the Republican Party who can challenge President Trump in the primaries, “said Lan Lanza.

Mick Mulvan, Trump’s former chief of staff, also thinks Trump could take another shot at the White House in the wake of a possible 2020 loss.
“I expect the president to be involved in politics and put him on a short list of people likely to run in the 2024 election,” the Irish Times reported.
Prior to his role as U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, Mulvan, who also served as director of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, noted that the president does not like to lose and that he would be as old as the Democratic nominee Biden (https). : //thehill.com/people/joe-biden) It should now run again in four years.
“It shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are lawyers and there’s a lawsuit and it’s not a clear admission of loss, it’s more of a declaration of victory,” Mulvane told the Irish Times.
