On Thursday, the press asked President Donald Trump if he would acknowledge electoral defeat if the Electoral College votes to make Biden the next president of the United States.
– It will be very difficult to admit defeat. If they vote like this, they are making a mistake, said Trump, who also promised to leave the White House.
One thing the president did not answer was whether he would attend Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony in January.
– I don’t know what will happen. I know one thing: Joe Biden didn’t get 80 million votes, Trump said without any documentation.
Barack Obama was present at Trump’s inauguration ceremony in 2017. After a bitter defeat in the 2016 election, even Hillary Clinton ran as a former secretary of state and former first lady. Only three of the outgoing former US presidents have refused to attend their successor’s inauguration ceremony, according to CNN:

Election 2024
Four weeks have passed since Election Day, but Trump maintains that he is the rightful winner of the election and claims that the election has been rigged and cheated.
No evidence of widespread electoral fraud has been presented, and Trump’s legal war, in the form of lawsuits against tipping states, has not done much so far.
An important question that has not been answered is whether Trump will run again for office in 2024. Several US media reported last week that he is planning a comeback, but has not confirmed it himself so far.
Now The Daily Beast is reporting that the outgoing president is apparently trying to steal Joe Biden’s attention. He is reportedly discussing various ways to interrupt Biden’s time in the driver’s seat, and it is claimed that he plans to announce that he will run in the 2024 election.
Biden insertion
According to three sources familiar with the talks, not only should the president have talked to advisers and other confidants about running for re-election, but he should also have talked about specific ideas around launching a campaign.
A hot topic should be when an announcement should be made so that it can keep the Republican Party behind it for the next four years.
Could be Trump’s last stinger
Two sources claim that the president for the past two weeks has considered going so far as to hold a 2024-related event during the week of Joe Biden’s inauguration, possibly at the same time that Biden will be sworn in as the next president of the United States. United.
According to The Daily Beast, Trump has also bragged that he still wants to be in the limelight, in part because he thinks the media thinks Biden is “boring.”

– With you 100 percent
Just days ago, Bloomberg also reported that Trump plans to run in the 2024 election if he fails to reverse Biden’s election victory.
Ten days after Election Day, Trump is said to have delivered the news to Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence in the president’s office at the White House.

– If you do, and I think I speak for everyone in the room, we are with you 100 percent, O’Brien is said to have said, according to two sources familiar with the conversation.
Pompeo and Pence, who are considered possible candidates for the Republican Party in the 2024 election, smiled but said nothing, writes The Daily Beast.

This year’s announcement?
As early as November 12, The Washington Post was also able to report that Trump was talking about running in the 2024 elections.
– I will run in 2024. I will only run again for the election, Trump is said to have said.
Last week, the newspaper was able to provide more details. Trump has told confidants that he can announce a 2024 campaign before the end of the year. He is also said to have researched ways to earn money when time runs out in the White House, such as paying to give speeches or selling tickets to public meetings. He also has a book in mind about his time as president.
Trump’s ‘secret’ demands
Whether he wants to stand up or not, Trump will likely seek to dominate Republican politics for years to come, the newspaper writes.
“Unlike Bush and Reagan, unlike some of our former presidents, he will be there continuously,” Michael Steele, former head of the Republican National Committee and senior advisor to the anti-Trump Lincoln Project campaign, told The Washington Post. .
