Former US President, Donald Trump, said he is “very seriously” considering running in 2024, noting that what he misses the most about being president was being able to help people.
In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, Trump said that although it was too far away to make any commitments, he has a good chance of winning with his party -the Republican.
“We are going to help with the House,” Trump said with regard to what his goals were for 2022. “I think we have a really good chance. I’m working with everybody including Kevin McCarthy in taking back the house. I think we have a really good chance in doing it. Likewise, the Senate’s going to be a little bit tougher.”
Trump also said that he was going to help the Republicans win back the Senate as well, saying he thinks the Republicans have “a really, really good chance.”
Trump said that he was willing to travel, do speeches, and do rallies for candidates that need the help, adding that he is “all in” on helping the GOP.
“I miss the most helping people because I can directly help people,” Trump said when asked what he missed the most about being president. “That’s why I did it. Hey, look, this has been a very traumatic — I had a great life, great company, great business, no problems.”
Trump said that voters are concerned with what’s going on right now because “they see that their guns are going to be gone, their Second Amendment.”
“Their taxes are going up. Regulations are going through the roof. Jobs are going to go out,” Trump continued. “What you see — you know, this is going to take a little while to show. But if they add all these regulations back, the jobs are going to be gone. Your energy independence is going to be gone. So I say this, I am looking at it very seriously, beyond seriously. From a legal standpoint, I don’t want to really talk about it yet, it’s a little too soon.”
The Democratic Party ticket of former vice president Joe Biden and the junior U.S. senator from California Kamala Harris defeated the incumbent Republican president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence in highly contested Nov 2020 election.
Trump became the first U.S. president since George H. W. Bush in the 1992 presidential election and the eleventh incumbent president in the country’s history to lose a bid for a second term. Biden’s 51.3% of the popular vote was also the largest percentage of the popular vote won by any challenger to an incumbent president since the 1932 presidential election.
However, Trump did not concede defeat to Biden claiming the 2020 vote was stolen.
