In a last-ditch effort to maintain his hold on power, Donald Trump attempted to annul the results of the 2020 presidential election and incited a violent riot at the Capitol. Now, he has declared his candidacy for president in 2024.

At his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump, 76, declared, I am announcing my candidacy for president of the United States. He was surrounded by enormous American flags.

The news and official filing come only one week after the 2022 midterm elections, which witnessed underwhelming results for Republican candidates supported by President Trump in crucial Senate seats and tight House races. Democrats were able to keep control of the Senate as a result.

Trump declared that America's comeback will begin immediately and that your country is being destroyed before your eyes.

Trump's decision to run opens up the possibility of a rematch with President Joe Biden, who will turn 80 on Sunday and has declared his intention to seek re-election in 2024.
