2024: Everyone wants me to run – Trump

The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, gave yet another signal that he would run for president in 2024, telling Indian television that doing so would “make a lot of people very happy.”

“Everyone wants me to run. I am leading in the polls,” Trump said in an excerpt of an interview with NDTV to be broadcast in full later on Thursday.

“In every poll, in Republican polls and Democrat polls, and I will decide the very near future, I suspect. And I think that a lot of people are going to be very happy,” he added.

The 76-year-old wealthy reality TV star also kept repeating bogus allegations that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election because of a fraud in that election.

“There is tremendous proof, there is tremendous evidence,” Trump said.

The Republican has been under heavy legal scrutiny for both his attempts to have the poll’s findings overturned and for his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2016.

AFP had reported that Trump had been the most divisive person in America ever since leaving office and is still spreading the lie that he won the election.

The FBI raided his Florida home last month to investigate possible mishandling of confidential data.

Trump has denied wrongdoing and called the raid “one of the most egregious assaults on democracy in the history of our country”.

He called Biden an “enemy of the state” in a speech he gave on Saturday in Pennsylvania in response to the vice president’s claims that he and his supporters are harming US democracy.
