Former President Donald Trump formally announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election yesterday, vowing to 'make America great again' and promising a 'new era of American prosperity'.
In a speech delivered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump touted his achievements during his previous term, including tax cuts, deregulation, and a strong economy. He also criticized his successor, President Joe Biden, for 'undoing' his policies and 'weakening' the country.
Trump's announcement was met with cheers from his supporters, who have been eagerly awaiting his return to politics. However, his candidacy has also been met with criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, who have expressed concerns about his divisive rhetoric and controversial policies.
The 76-year-old Trump is seeking to become the first president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century. His candidacy sets up a potential rematch with Biden, who has not yet confirmed whether he will seek re-election.
Trump's announcement marks the beginning of a long and contentious campaign season, with several other Republicans already vying for the nomination. Stay tuned for further updates and analysis as the race unfolds."
