Donald Trump announces 2024 presidential campaign from Mar-a-Lago home in Florida

Donald Trump has announced his 2024 presidential campaign after months of teasing a bid to take back the White House.

Despite a slew of ongoing investigations, including the FBI's raid of his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in August, Trump officially threw his name on the ballot for the forthcoming presidential election.

At a rally at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Trump walked out to chants of "USA" before thanking the crowd for joining him and his family in the "greatest country in the history of the world."

"America's comeback starts right now," Trump said.

"Two years ago we were a great nation, and soon, we will be a great nation again.

"I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States.

This will not be my campaign, this will be our campaign all together.

"I will fight like no one has ever fought before."

Prior to the announcement, it was revealed via Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs that Trump filed a statement for his 2024 bid with the FEC.

The announcement comes on the heels of a lackluster showing by Republicans at the polls during last week's midterm elections.
