And three, after 2016 and 2020: Donald Trump is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2024 US presidential election on Tuesday, ignoring calls from his camp for Foles to drop out of the game after his poor performance in the mid-term elections. command

The Republican billionaire has promised to make a “very big announcement” at 9pm local time from his luxury residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida – the content of which won’t really stir up suspense, but it will delight his millions of supporters.
His adviser Jason Miller promised a “very professional, very cool” announcement, during which the former president was surrounded by a large group of activists “holding signs.”
Donald Trump, known for his unpredictability, has been flirting for months with the idea of representing himself, possibly upsetting the calendar at the last minute.
Given the inflated expectations, a reversal seems highly unlikely. The businessman predicted that Tuesday would be “one of the most important days in the history” of the United States.
Donald Trump, who came to power in November 2016 in an unprecedented political scenario that almost no one expected, broke all the conventions during his presidency. He left Washington in disarray after failing to win re-election against Joe Biden — a defeat he never conceded.
So this new candidacy is the third in seven for the White House.
It also hints at a possible remake of the 2020 presidential election: President Biden recently reiterated his “intention” to run for a second term, though he was careful to postpone any final decision until next year.
Republicans will largely take over the House of Representatives from Democrats, but with a much smaller majority than expected.
The “giant wave” much-anticipated by conservatives has not actually materialized: President Biden’s Democratic Party secured control of the Senate this weekend and could even widen its majority, defying pollsters’ predictions.
To make matters worse, one of his closest allies, Cary Lake, failed to capture the Arizona governor’s seat on Monday.
It was more than a mixed performance by the Republican camp, especially from candidates dubbed by Donald Trump, that tarnished the Tribune’s kingmaker reputation.
“This was certainly not the context that Donald Trump wanted for his announcement tonight,” Liz Cheney, a spokeswoman for anti-Trump Republicans, said Tuesday.
Many influential voices in the conservative camp have also called on the real estate mogul to step aside from Republican leadership, casting shadows over his presidential projects.
Its former vice president, Mike Pence, published his memoirs on Tuesday in which he described, among other things, the pressures he faced to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, notably by refusing to comment on Donald Trump’s candidacy. An interview with the American channel ABC broadcast on Monday evening.
“Americans have to decide, but I think we’ll have better options in the future,” said Mr Pence, who has also been tipped for the presidency in 2024.
But a portion of conservative voters have already turned to another potential contender for the White House and Florida resident: its governor, Ron DeSantis. The 40-year-old, the new star of the hard right, who is coming out strong from the mid-term elections, promises that his fight is “just beginning”.
But Donald Trump remains undeniably popular with his base for now, which continues to flow to his campaign rallies. A majority of polls still have him winning the Republican primary.
However, one obstacle could complicate Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House: his numerous legal problems, which could end up disqualifying him.
The former president has been the subject of several investigations into the attack on Congressional headquarters on January 6, 2021, or his role in the management of the White House archives.
By relying on the “instinct” that always brings it forward, Donald Trump, whose downfall has been announced a thousand times, has so far survived all the scandals. Accumulating, they had no effect on him.
