Donald Trump hints at 2024 presidential run at South Texas rally

Donald Trump hinted at another run for President of the United States in 2024. During a rally in South Texas, Trump said that will “probably have to do it again.”

However, the 76-year-old indicated he will not make a formal announcement until after the midterms.

“I ran twice. I won twice. I did much better the second time than I did before,” Trump told the crowd of thousands gathered to hear him speak in Robstown, Texas. “Getting millions more votes in 2020 than 2016 and likewise, getting more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far. And now in order to make our country successful, safe and glorious again, I will probably have to do it again.”

“The silent majority is back stronger than ever before,” Trump said. “My fellow citizens, this incredible journey we are on together has only just begun.”

The latest comments are one of the strongest indications from Trump about a White House again.

On Friday, Trump received a subpoena from the January 6 House Select Committee for his alleged involvement in the Capitol Hill riots.

Addressing Trump, the document stated: “You were at the center of the first and only effort by any US President to overturn an election… You knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional.”

A lawyer for Trump accused the lawmakers on the committee of “flouting norms.”

Trump has until November 4 to provide documents to the committee. He must appear for deposition testimony on or before November 14. If he doesn’t comply with the subpoena, Trump could face criminal charges.
