Donald Trump’s potential ’24 campaign faces a few roadblocks (but some are motivating him)
- Many advisers believe Donald Trump will run for president again in 2024.
- The one question: Whether Trump will announce this summer or after the November mid-term elections.
- Among the factors affecting Trump’s timetable: a bevy of Jan. 6 investigations.
- Aides offer a traditional caveat: Trump could change his mind about anything at any time.
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s prospective campaign to reclaim the presidency in 2024 faces legal and political jeopardy, but allies say some of the potential roadblocks – including the threat of prosecution – are actually motivating him to run.
As he ponders when and how to announce, Trump is dealing with new revelations about his conduct during the Jan. 6 insurrection of 2021, push-back from a rising number of Republicans, and, above all, the prospect of an unprecedented indictment of a former president.
