Former President Trump, who is willing to run for the US presidential election two years from now, will make an important announcement before noon on the 16th of Japan time.
With the opposition Republican Party sluggish in the midterm elections and voices within the party calling for responsibility, the focus is on whether Mr. Trump will clearly show his intention to run.
Former US President Trump said in a speech on the 7th of this month, the day before the midterm elections, that he would make a major announcement at his mansion in southern Florida on the 15th.
He has repeatedly expressed his desire to run for the presidency two years later throughout the campaign, prompting speculation that he will formally announce his candidacy.
"I hope today is one of the most important days in our nation's history," Trump wrote on social media ahead of the announcement.
Even before the announcement, supporters of Trump gathered around the mansion, saying, "I support Mr. Trump's policies. I will support Mr. Trump in the 2024 presidential election," or "He is still our president." I was talking about it.
Trump's campaign was undermined by the midterm elections, where Republicans won fewer seats than initially expected, and several Trump-backed candidates in battleground states in the Senate were certain to lose. There are also voices calling for accountability from within the Republican Party.
Mr. Trump will make his announcement at 11:00 am on the 16th of Japan time, and while there is opposition within the party, the focus is on whether he will clearly show his intention to run for the presidential election.
