On Tuesday, former US president Donald Trump officially announced his third run for the White House in the 2024 presidential election.
“In order to make America great and glorious again I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States.”
– Donald Trump, Former President of the United States
Trump is the first Republican to announce that he will run for president in 2024, and has filed paperwork for his candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.
While in office, Trump was impeached twice by the House of Representatives, but not convicted either time by the Senate.
He is currently under investigation by the congress into his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Trump is the first US president to lose a re-election bid, and only candidate to try again in more than a century.
