According to the Washington Post, Donald Trump is considering announcing his candidacy for president at a Monday night rally in Ohio, just one day before the election.
There is a country fair and exposition in Miami.
According to the Post, Trump has a habit of changing his mind and floated the idea of an early announcement.
Richard Grenell, a Trump loyalist who served as the former president's director of national intelligence, said he would watch the Ohio rally if he were him.
According to reports, some Republican leaders pushed Trump to hold off until after the elections because they feared that Trump could cause a backlash against them.
The New York Times and Associated Press reported last week that Trump was expected to wait until after the elections to announce his candidacy, which would allow him to ride the GOP victories without tainting the outcome.
Forbes reached out to the office of the president.
It wasn't a surprise that Trump could return to the presidency. Since leaving office, he has remained involved in Republican politics and fundraising, and he has dropped a series of barely-veiled hints that he hopes to be the first president in a long time to win two non-consecutive terms. Trump is still facing political and legal blowback from the chaotic end to his first term in office, which was dominated by Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him, bookended by a riot at the Capitol and followed up by federal investigations into his attempts to overturn Several recent polls show that most Americans don't want Trump to run for a second term. Biden has an approval rating that is equal to Trump's at the same point in his presidency, according to FiveThirtyEight.
A probe into the January 6 riot that has reportedly expanded to look at Trump and his inner circle, as well as a separate probe into handling of classified records that led FBI agents to search Trump, could be affected by Trump running for president. When candidates for political office are in prosecutors' sights, the DOJ avoids any moves that can be seen as partisan. CNN reported last week that the DOJ is considering appointing a special counsel.
It is not clear if Trump will face a competitive Republican primary or if he will get a second chance against Biden. Most polls show Donald Trump would start the GOP primaries with a double-digit lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if he ran for president. Biden says that he wants to run for reelection.
There is talk of a presidential launch on the eve of the election.
