Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.

deadline.comSen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said that he will not seek reelection, putting an end to speculation about his plans for next year and adding to the uncertainty that Democrats will be able to retain control of the Senate. “I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia,” Manchin said in a video statement posted on social media. “I have made one of the toughest decisions I have ever made in my life, and I have decided that I will not be running for reelection.” His exit from the race quickly raised speculation that he would mount a presidential bid via the group No Labels, which has been readying the possibility of backing a third party challenge next year.
That has raised big concerns among Democrats that such a bid would siphon votes from Joe Biden to the benefit of Donald Trump, should both win their party nominations. “We need to take back America and not let this divisive hatred further pull us apart,” Manchin said.
He added, “Public service has and continues to drive me every day. That is the vow I made to my father more than 40 years ago, and I intent to keep that vow until my dying day.” No Labels issued a statement praising Manchin.
They said that they will make a decision in early 2024 “about whether we will nominate a Unity presidential ticket and who will be on it.” Manchin faced a tough reelection battle in West Virginia, which has become more solidly Republican during his tenure.
