Trump 2024? Former president expected to announce White House intentions today. Should he run? Strong reaction now on ABC7
Trump is the subject of several federal investigations, including the Jan. 6 probe, the investigation into Trump's handling of documents recovered at Mar-a-Lago, and an investigation into his fledgling social media company, Truth Social.
In addition, Trump's namesake family real estate business, The Trump Organization, is currently on trial in New York for tax evasion and fraud -- charges that would not be affected if he's reelected president. The company has denied wrongdoing. In the lead-up to the 2022 midterms, Trump's Super PAC poured millions into key races, and the former president wielded his political power by endorsing hand-picked candidates for major congressional seats, including Senate candidates Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and Herschel Walker in Georgia. The former president ramped up his already busy rally schedule in the final weeks of the campaign, holding multiple events over the weekend leading into Election Day.
Trump has already taken aim at some potential presidential primary opponents, including possible 2024 rival Ron DeSantis, who on Tuesday cruised to reelection as governor of Florida. In a statement released last week, Trump attacked DeSantis as an "average" governor, saying that DeSantis was "politically dead" until Trump endorsed him in 2018 and griping over DeSantis' refusal to say whether he'll run for president in 2024.
