CAN DONALD TRUMP PRESENT IN 2024 AFTER HIS DEFEAT?
After several days of twists and turns, Donald Trump lost in the race for the White House, this Saturday, November 7. After his loss to Joe Biden, could he embark on a third presidential campaign in 2024?
The answer is yes. The US Constitution prohibits a citizen from serving more than two terms as President of the United States, but does not limit the number of campaigns to reach that office and does not prevent a president from returning after his first term.
This has only happened once in history, however, and it goes back to 1892. Grover Cleveland, President of the United States from 1884, lost his re-election campaign in 1888 in a tight race. . But that didn't stop him, as he returned four years later to beat Benjamin Harrison, with a very solid margin ahead.
Donald Trump could therefore seek the Republican nomination in four years and start a campaign to face the Democrats. Steve Bannon, a former close adviser to the president, moreover predicted that this would be the case in an interview with The Australian: "if for any reason this election is stolen or that, in a sense, Joe Biden wins, Trump will announce that he will run in 2024. You have not seen the end of Donald Trump ”. He shouldn't be able to face Joe Biden, however, who has vowed to only serve one term.
If this is therefore feasible, it should however be noted that the Republican will be 78 years old in 2024. This is certainly the age that Joe Biden will have on November 20, but his weight and his diet could damage his health. He will also have to keep control of the Republican Party for four years, while several personalities will try to win to run for the election. We can for example quote Nikki Haley, former American ambassador to the UN, who is described as very ambitious.
