Donald Trump is apparently considering running again. He would not be the first president to be re-elected after a four-year hiatus.

For the first time, there are signs that Donald Trump is well aware that he will have to leave the White House in January 2021. At least indirectly, that is clear, because like them Reports from the American news site Axios, Trump told his advisers that he was considering running for 2024. This is said to have been confirmed by two independent sources.
A US president can be elected twice, but does not have to be consecutive, so Trump could be re-elected in four years. Whether the Republicans would re-elect him as a candidate would be another question. Nowadays Republicans are loyal to Trump, If you they are even afraid of the influence it could continue to exert on the party.
Trumps Team Plant Events
Trump is 2024 a scenario that becomes more relevant every dayTrump has little chance in court, but he will never admit defeat because he deeply detests losers. Instead, go back to campaign mode and speak to thousands of cheering viewers about the “corrupt system,” the “swamp in Washington,” and the “stolen elections,” just as his fans love it, how he loves it. .
Fox News and Axios unanimously reported Monday that Trump’s team is already planning similar events to stir up spirits against the election result. It is not clear if the president will appear there. Large fan parades will also be organized, in which Trump supporters in motor shows or on boats assure the president of their support with a sea of flags. This also shows that at least some of the Americans believe that Trump won after all.

The courts can hardly be impressed by this, but Republicans are, who cannot free themselves from Trump’s grip. The gains in the House of Representatives and the likely majority in the Senate also show that his base does not see the “Great Old Party” completely on the wrong track, quite the contrary. Never before has a Republican candidate received so many votes: Trump eventually narrowly missed re-election, despite the crown disaster, economic recession, impeachment, lies and other weaknesses of character.
Grover Cleveland as a role model
So Trump 2024 is not just a fantasy, but a very possible scenario. He would not be the first president to run again after being ousted from office; there’s even an example where such a comeback has been successful: Grover Cleveland. The Democrat was elected 22nd President of the United States in 1884, in one of the dirtiest electoral campaigns in history. In 1888 he was not reelected and had to admit defeat to Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland was the first candidate to receive the most votes (48.6 to 47.8 percent), but lost due to voters on the voters’ committee. Harrison got 233 votes there, Cleveland only 168. After that, only Al Gore in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 lost the election, although they received more votes from the people. They were both Democrats too.

Cleveland was nominated again for his party in 1892 and now he clearly beat Harrison. He received three percent more votes and also won 277 voters, the Republican incumbent only reached 145. Cleveland is the only president to date to make this return. He is considered the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, and thus has also created confusion in the count. For example, Donald Trump is the 45th president, but since Cleveland is counted twice, he is actually only the 44th person in this office. Officially, this is not the case.
Teddy Roosevelt failed
Cleveland was the only Democrat to hold office in the 52-year span between 1861 and 1913. Woodrow Wilson succeeded in this in the 1912 election, but only because of divided Republicans. In addition to current President William H. Taft, Theodor Roosevelt was also a candidate. Roosevelt had previously been President of the United States for almost eight years. He took office in 1901 when William McKinley died after an assassination attempt. He was 42 years old at the time and the youngest president of the United States to this day. In 1904 he managed to be re-elected, but in 1908 he did not run for a possible second election, but supported his war minister Taft.

Dissatisfied with his policy, Roosevelt wanted to be reelected in 1912. The Republicans settled on the incumbent president, after which Roosevelt ran for the “Progressive Party.” Republican votes were split between the two candidates, with benefits for Teddy Roosevelt. The beneficiary was Wilson, who achieved a landslide victory on the election committee. Republicans then flirted with nominating Roosevelt again for the 1920 elections, but the former president, who had been in poor health after an expedition in the Amazon basin, died in January 1919 at the age of 60.
Age does not speak against him
Age could also be a problem for Trump. He will turn 78 in June 2024. But that didn’t stop Joe Biden, either. The 46th president now elected will turn 78 next week, on November 20. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, newly re-elected for another six years in office, is 78 years old. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the third most powerful position in the country, is even 80 years old. As surprising as it may sound, his age would not necessarily speak out against Trump in 2024.

When Donald Trump was sworn in in January 2017, he also registered as a candidate for 2020. If you really have ambitions for 2024, things will be quick this time too, with such an announcement, you might even try to steal something from Joe Biden when he’s inaugurated. Before that, a bid for 2024 would also be seen as an admission of electoral defeat, and therefore quite unlikely.
Election campaign without electoral ambitions?
Trump could revert to election campaign mode with his departure from the White House and also keep the donation machine alive, regardless of whether the Republicans actually misled him or not. Then more money would come in, which apparently is important even to the allegedly extremely wealthy Trump, as post-election legal dispute fundraising drives have shown. There it is indicated in the fine print that up to 60 percent of the donations will be used to pay off electoral debts. And if the courts reject the demands of Trump’s lawyers, he could use the leftover money for his next shows.
CNN and other media outlets consider Trump 2024 realistic, including New York Times I can imagine this, in addition to building a own Trump TV station. At The Washington Post believes that columnist Paul Waldman but to a different setting. There are some arguments in favor of a renewed candidacy: Trump will likely face legal and certainly financial difficulties after leaving the White House. His name now represents a major defeat, making further marketing of the Trump brand difficult. And Trump certainly won’t take a back seat as a quiet retiree like other former presidents, he needs attention like air to breathe.

For this reason, he will travel the country with the slogan “Trump 2024” to make America great again. He will have his time to speak on Fox News, but he will not follow through with the election, predicts Waldman. After three years of campaigning, Trump would call it an end, otherwise he would risk too much, he could not afford another defeat. He prefers to remain the former president whose re-election was “stolen.”
No matter how it turns out, the most important thing to Waldman is that Trump will continue to seek attention for years to come. With his tweets in capital letters, he will try to encourage journalists to write articles about him. But the good news is that the media would then have the option to simply say no and stop reporting on him.

Kamala Harris is the favorite
The report will be no later than two years, but it will definitely refer to other candidates by 2024. It is not yet clear if Joe Biden will resign in favor of Kamala Harris, but it is actually expected. This is also evident with the bookmakers. The favorite is new Vice President Harris, in OddsShark, for example, leading 5: 1 ahead of Mike Pence and former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley (8: 1). Biden is still 12: 1 ahead of Pete Buttigieg and Michelle Obama, who, however, has never registered any ambitions for the position. With a 25: 1 ratio, Donald Trump is tied with Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren.
At European-known gambling giant Bwin, Joe Biden (4.5: 1) leads just ahead of Kamala Harris (5: 1), followed by Donald Trump (11: 1), ahead of Mike Pence (17: 1). After that, you can bet on anything the bookmakers find in the election campaign environment, such as Ivanka Trump (26: 1) or Donald Jr. (34: 1). Actor George Clooney apparently has the same good chances as Kanye West (51: 1), who really wants to run for office in 2024. Oprah Winfrey (101: 1) is also part of the sportsbook.
