Donald Trump bragged about the crowd size of an Arizona rally and pointed to heavy traffic leading into the event venue as evidence that he won the 2020 election.
After losing his reelection bid to Biden, Trump left the White House and continued to maintain that the election was fraudulent despite there being no evidence of mass irregularity and repeated court losses by his campaign legal team.

Trump has been teasing a presidential run for almost a year, including at multiple rallies he held in support of Republican candidates last year.
During a Fox News interview last November, Trump said that a final decision was still up in the air.
He told the outlet at the time that he was thinking about it. A lot of people will be very happy with the decision, and probably will announce it after the elections.
The conservative state of Arizona was one of the hardest-fought states in the 2020 presidential election, and will be in play again in 2024.
Biden became the first Democratic presidential nominee since Bill Clinton in 1996 to win the state's electoral votes, edging out Trump by 10,457 votes.
