Trump adviser Jason Miller said in a podcast that the former president will announce his 2024 presidential campaign at an event on Tuesday.
Speaking on Steve Bannon’s podcast on Friday, Miller added that the announcement would be “very professional, very buttoned up” and that Trump’s team went through the logistics on Friday of last week.
Miller said he spoke with Trump and the former president told him “there doesn’t need to be any questions. Of course I’m running. I’m going to do this and I want to make sure people know I’m angry.”
Some advisers continue to try to persuade the former president to make any kind of announcement, but most acknowledge that their pleas are unlikely to have an impact on Trump’s decision.
Amid the backlash against the lackluster and poor results of many Trump-backed candidates, Trump has recently reminded those around him that Republicans and some conservative media turned their backs on him in 2016 and he still won.
However, many worry that he lacks the same magnetism that swept him into the White House six years ago, particularly as he continues to focus on promoting conspiracies around the election, a strategy that largely failed on Tuesday past
It is not yet clear who will attend Tuesday’s event. Some of Trump’s biggest supporters, including Reps. Elise Stefanik, Matt Gaetz and Jim Banks, will gather for House leadership elections in Washington today.
