Donald Trump has declared his intention to run in the 2024 presidential race, regardless of whether he is convicted or not on the recent 37-count indictment he faces.
According to his spokesperson, Trump allegedly expressed this commitment during an interview with a Politico reporter aboard Trump Force One on Saturday. He firmly stated, “I’ll never leave.” Trump further reflected on his determination by citing his persistence in the 2016 race, highlighting the challenges he faced during that time.
These remarks were confirmed by a Trump campaign spokesperson in correspondence with ABC News.
Trump recently made his first public statements since the indictment by the special counsel’s office, denouncing the charges and criticizing the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.
During a rally in Columbus, Georgia, he described the indictment as “ridiculous and baseless,” claiming it to be one of the most egregious abuses of power in the nation’s history. Trump continued to voice his discontent with the current leadership, referring to them as “thugs and freaks running this country.”
Asserting his innocence, he maintained that he and his team had done nothing wrong, expressing his belief that the unfolding events were a disgrace. Trump emphasized the perceived negative impact on the nation, stating that such occurrences should never be allowed to transpire.
Later, while visiting a local Waffle House, he reiterated his position, expressing his dissatisfaction with the situation and highlighting the alleged consequences for the country.
In summary, Donald Trump remains resolute in his intention to participate in the 2024 presidential race, irrespective of the ongoing legal proceedings against him.
