Trump Running For President Again In 2024 Despite Criminal Probes Into Coup Attempt (Huffington Postlink): Donald Trump, the only U.S. president to have attempted a coup to remain in power and who is now under multiple criminal investigations for it, nevertheless announced Tuesday night that he is running to regain his old job in 2024— with polls suggesting he could win the Republican Party nomination again.

“In order to make America great again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” he said 19 minutes into his remarks.

“America’s comeback starts right now,” Trump said as he kicked off his remarks. “We were a great and glorious nation. Now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation.”

“We are here tonight to declare that it does not have to be this way,” he said. Minutes before he started to speak at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump filed a statement of candidacy with the FEC.

The 9 p.m. EST announcement, for which Trump’s aides were trying to rustle up as many supporters as possible to attend, remained on schedule, despite some Republicans advising him to postpone because of the dismal performance of his anointed candidates in last week’s midterm elections as well as the Dec. 6 runoff between Republican Herschel Walker and Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia.

Trump required candidates who wanted his support to spread his lies that the 2020 election had been “stolen” from him, and dozens of candidates across the country were happy to make that trade. But, in the highest-profile of those races, Trump’s candidates lost to Democrats.

Trump’s choices for governor in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland and Arizona, for secretary of state in Arizona, Michigan and Nevada, and for U.S. Senate in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire all were defeated.

The Senate losses ensured that Democrats will retain control of that chamber for the next two years, while Republicans appear likely to have only a razor-thin majority in the House after previously expecting to win as many as 60 seats.

“He got his ass kicked,” said one top Trump adviser on condition of anonymity. “And he knows it.”
