Donald Trump announces candidacy for US president in 2024
Former U.S. president Donald Trump, who has mounted relentless attacks on the integrity of U.S. voting since his 2020 election defeat, launched a bid to regain the presidency in 2024 on Tuesday, aiming to pre-empt potential Republican rivals.

Trump, seeking a potential rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden, made his announcement at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida a week after midterm elections in which Republicans failed to win as many seats in Congress as they had hoped.

In a speech broadcast live on U.S. television, Trump spoke to hundreds of supporters in a ballroom decorated with several chandeliers and lined with dozens of American flags.
