Donald Trump said that he is running for president in 2024, seeking to return to the White House amid warning signs that he’s losing support among key Republicans and Rupert Murdoch-owned media outlets. “In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” Trump told a crowd gathered at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s announcement had long been anticipated, as he had teased it in interviews and at campaign rallies. His speech was heavy in attacks on President Joe Biden, including personal barbs about him being out of touch, as well as “radical left Democrats.” Biden’s team was ready, tweeting out a video with the message, “Donald Trump failed America.”Donald Trump failed America.

Broadcast network streaming channels also leaned into analysis rather than carrying the speech in its entirety. With Democrats doing surprisingly well in the midterms, retaining control of the Senate and likely keeping the GOP’s new House majority to the low single digits, a number of Republicans have said publicly that it was time to move on from Trump.
