Former President Donald Trump said he has made up his mind about mounting another White House bid in 2024 and indicated that the only decision left is whether he announces before or after November’s midterm elections, a new report says.
“Well, in my own mind, I’ve already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore. In my own mind, I’ve already made that decision,” Trump told New York magazine in an interview at his golf resort in Bedminster, NJ.
Initially, the 45th president remained coy about the timing of his decision, but then continued.
“I would say my big decision will be whether I go before or after,” he said. “You understand what that means?”
He was then asked about the midterms and repeated the words.
“Do I go before or after? That will be my big decision,” Trump said. “I just think that there are certain assets to before.”
“Let people know. I think a lot of people would not even run if I did that because, if you look at the polls, they don’t even register. Most of these people. And I think that you would actually have a backlash against them if they ran. People want me to run,” he continued.
“Look,” Trump said, “I feel very confident that, if I decide to run, I’ll win.”
The interview with Trump was published on Thursday, the same day the Washington Post reported that he is looking at September for announcing his decision, with a confidante predicting that the odds are “70 to 30 that he announces before the midterms.”
Still, several sources close to the former president told the New York Post that they were unsure of Trump’s timetable after the report landed about the possible September launch.
The Washington Post reported that Trump had started meeting with advisers about who should helm a presidential campaign, and members of his team have set in motion efforts to have an online campaign structure in place in case he announces soon.
