Donald Trump announces 2024 presidential run

Donald Trump has announced his 2024 presidential bid at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. 'In order to make America great and glorious again, I tonight am announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,' Trump said.

The former president has been teasing the announcement since before the midterm elections and it comes as he faces intense scrutiny from within his own party. After a number of far-right, Trump-endorsed candidates lost their elections, advisers had urged the ex-president to delay announcing a 2024 candidacy. Trump is facing a deluge of legal troubles and investigations .
