Donald Trump, a former president, declared Tuesday night that he would run for office in 2024. He outlined a ferociously conservative platform that included the execution of drug traffickers.Trump will be running for president for the third time, but this will be his first attempt to win over voters after his obstinate refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and his desperate attempt to maintain power resulted in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Trump Announcement
"Our country is in decline. For many Americans, we are a failed nation "Trump criticised President Joe Biden's performance during his first two years in office during a speech at his Florida private club. "I'll see to it that Joe Biden doesn't get four more years."
Earlier on Tuesday night, Trump submitted documents to the Federal Election Commission in which he proclaimed himself a candidate for the office of president and set up a new campaign committee. Trump declared, "This campaign will be about problems, vision, and success. We won't stop, we won't give up until we've accomplished the highest objectives and made our nation bigger than it has ever been."

Trump painted a gloomy picture of America as a failing country plagued by violent crime during "a moment of sorrow, suffering, fear, and despair" in his speech on Tuesday, which in many ways recalled his 2016 campaign speeches.

Trump claimed that the weaponization of the Justice Department and the FBI, which are currently looking into his handling of classified documents and his involvement in a massive effort to rig the 2020 presidential election and prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory, posed the "gravest threat to our civilization."
Trump and DeSantis
Prior to last Tuesday, surveys consistently showed that 76-year-old Donald Trump was the clear favourite to win his party's nomination, with the Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis trailing by an average of more than 20 percentage points.
But that was prior to DeSantis' astounding 19-point victory, which energised Republicans all around the country and provided the party with a bright spot on a day when Democrats won the majority of the crucial Senate and governorship races.
DeSantis is now ahead of Trump in some of the early post-election polling by YouGov. "I have only begun to fight," DeSantis promised supporters in his reelection victory speech.
Democrats would be thrilled with the idea of a protracted primary between Trump and DeSantis, in part because Democratic campaign strategists view DeSantis as a strong opponent.
The notion appeals to Biden as well. On Nov. 9, when a reporter questioned him about Trump and DeSantis, the president responded, "It'll be entertaining watching them square off."
The Washington Post reported this week that Trump intends to create a campaign organisation that is less like the vast enterprise that his failed 2020 reelection bid developed into and more like the small group of devoted aides who managed his successful 2016 campaign.
Trump enters the race with more than $60 million in cash, which is held by his leadership PAC, Save America. He also has a massive fundraising operation that collects small donations at an unprecedented rate.
Trump is unable to directly fund his campaign for president using the funds from the leadership PAC, according to Federal Election Commission regulations.
