It looks like President Donald Trump has made his final decision on whether he’ll run for the White House again in 2024.
Now he’s just pondering when to make the announcement.
“Well, in my own mind, I’ve already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore,” Trump said in response to those who might not support him in 2024.
“Look,” Trump said, “I feel very confident that, if I decide to run, I’ll win.”
“I would say my big decision will be whether I go before or after,” Trump said. “You understand what that means? … Midterms.”
“Do I go before or after? That will be my big decision,” he added.
“I just think that there are certain assets to before,” he said.
“Let people know. I think a lot of people would not even run if I did that because, if you look at the polls, they don’t even register. Most of these people. And I think that you would actually have a backlash against them if they ran,” Trump continued.
“People want me to run,” he added.
Numerous polls show Trump is Republicans’ favorite candidate for 2024.

The question of whether Trump will seek a return to the White House has generated endless speculation since he left office, with the former president leaving a trail of hints and pundits parsing every comment for insight on the issue.
Many Republicans hope his announcement will come soon, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
“If Trump is going to run, the sooner he gets in and talks about winning the next election, the better,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said. “It will refocus his attention — less grievance, more about the future.”
