Donald Trump is reportedly considering holding a mass rally in Florida on the same day as Joe Biden’s inauguration.

House or attend his inauguration, Axios reported Monday.

According to the report, Trump is considering holding a giant “MAGA” rally in his new home state, where he would immediately announce that he would run in 2024, creating a split-screen moment between his audience and Biden’s downsized and socially estranged inauguration.

“Anonymous sources who claim to know what the president is or is not considering have no idea,” White House spokesman Judd Deere told Axios. “When President Trump has an announcement about his plans for January 20, he will let you know.”

NBC News first reported last week that “preliminary planning” was underway for a Jan.20 event for Trump to initiate a bid in 2024.

The Daily Beast reported last month that Trump had privately bragged that even if he fails to overturn the election results and Biden takes office, he will remain in the spotlight because the media finds his rival “boring.”

“If you do that, and I think I speak on behalf of everyone in the room, we are with you 100 percent,” O’Brien said, according to Bloomberg.

At a rally in Georgia on Saturday to support two Republican senators facing the second round of the Jan.5 election, Trump continued to criticize the election results. “If he lost, he would be a big loser,” Trump told the crowd in Valdosta.

“If I lost, I would say, ‘I lost’, and I would go to Florida and take it easy. But you can never accept when they steal and manipulate and steal. You cannot accept it. We are all deeply disturbed and upset by the lies, cheating, theft and thefts that have happened with our elections. “
