Former President Trump announces he'll run for president in 2024.
, the only president impeached twice, launched a campaign to reclaim the Oval Office on Tuesday, two years after voters ousted him and a week after they rejected his hand-picked candidates in several pivotal Senate races.
He also vowed to repeal President Joe Biden’s initiatives to address climate change and immigration. He credited himself with creating a strong economy and ripped Biden over inflation. He also resurrected policy ideas that predate his time in politics, like backing a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms — a promise of the 1994 class of Republicans that took control of the House for the GOP for the first time in 40 years.
Despite having lost that election by more than 7 million votes with no signs of mass fraud, Trump insisted that he had won. Trump claimed that his endorsement record during the 2022 midterm cycle was “232 wins and 22 losses,” which would amount to a 91% success rate. But Ballotpedia, an online political reference maintained by a nonpartisan nonprofit group, reports that Trump had a success rate of about 82%.
It is unusual, but not unprecedented, for a former president to seek his old office. Herbert Hoover was the last to try — unsuccessfully — in 1940. If Trump were to win in 2024, he would become only the second president, after Grover Cleveland in 1892, to reclaim the job by defeating the man who beat him.
When that didn’t work, the committee said, Trump leaned on then-Vice President Mike Pence, publicly and privately, to reject the certification of real electors and ultimately urged a mob of his backers to march to the Capitol, where they tried to stop the count.
