If Trump has already declared he is running for president again, lawmakers and party strategists worry that it will become a major motivator for Democrats to turn out and vote in a state Trump narrowly lost in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some in the GOP are openly calling for the party to move on from Trump entirely in the wake of this week\u2019s midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), who handily won reelection on Tuesday, called the prospect of Trump jumping into the 2024 race so early a \u201csilly decision.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe stands to potentially muck up the opportunity for [Herschel] Walker to win in Georgia in his runoff,\u201d Sununu said in a SiriusXM interview on Friday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what the former president doesn\u2019t understand is if he announces \u2026 he\u2019s not going to keep anyone out of the race,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut no one else is going to announce until summer or fall for a whole variety of fundraising reasons and all of this. So it\u2019s going to be a very awkward thing with only him in the race. No one\u2019s going to really care. It\u2019s just going to be weird.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Monday teased an announcement for next week about his future plans, clearly hoping to build on momentum from a big night for Republicans in the midterms. But the anticipated red wave never materialized, with some of Trump\u2019s highest profile endorsements suffering key losses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Jason Miller, a top adviser to Trump who worked on his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, put to rest on Friday any speculation that the former president might be second-guessing the decision in light of the results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is going to announce on Tuesday that he\u2019s running for president. And it\u2019s going to be a very professional, very buttoned-up announcement,\u201d Miller told former Trump White House official Stephen Bannon on the latter\u2019s radio show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former president and his allies urging him to jump into the race see some benefits to an early announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Doing so would lay down a marker for other Republicans to either pledge their loyalty to Trump for 2024, or risk being ostracized by the MAGA wing of the party. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), a member of House leadership, has already publicly backed Trump for 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It would also potentially clear the field of prospective candidates such as Nikki Haley, Trump\u2019s former United Nations ambassador, who said in April 2021 she would not run for president if Trump were in the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are some in Trump\u2019s orbit who also believe the former president wants to declare his candidacy before a potential indictment comes down over his mishandling of classified information after he left the White House. If he is actively running for president, the Justice Department would face some difficult decisions about how to proceed with bringing charges, though Trump\u2019s allies are sure to claim that any indictment is politically motivated regardless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Trump in an interview over the summer denied investigations into his conduct were motivating a possible third White House bid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, there are numerous risks to Trump launching his campaign essentially two full years before the presidential election.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Campaign finance laws would restrict how Trump could use the money he raised through his Save America PAC, and it would cap donations he could accumulate over such a long time period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel says the party can no longer pay Trump\u2019s legal bills if he\u2019s a declared candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Republican strategists and some former Trump campaign officials doubted that an early announcement would clear the field of potential primary challengers, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) among the potential candidates who are unlikely to be deterred by Trump\u2019s announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s part of the problem for his candidacy is the earlier he does it is the more time he gives a Glenn Youngkin or a Ron DeSantis to bide their time, see where the opening is and see where he is around late second quarter,\u201d a former Trump campaign adviser said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump has gone particularly hard after DeSantis in recent days, complaining that the Florida governor was not gracious enough for Trump\u2019s help in his 2018 campaign, threatening to release damaging information about DeSantis in a 2024 primary and mocking him as \u201cRon DeSanctimonious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the attacks have largely backfired. DeSantis has not engaged, and many conservatives have rallied around the Florida governor after his landslide victory on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the greatest concern around an early Trump announcement, however, lies in Georgia, where many Republicans fear a repeat of two years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m advising any contender \u2014 DeSantis, Trump, whomever \u2014 nobody announces 2024 until we get through Dec. 6,\u201d former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>, adding that Trump should put any announcement \u201con pause.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former president, who fuels turnout not just for Republicans but for Democrats and independents who oppose him, lost Georgia narrowly in 2020, becoming the first Republican since 1992 to fail to carry the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump then spent the weeks before a January 2021 Senate runoff spreading falsehoods about the 2020 election and sowing doubt about whether Georgia voters could trust that their ballots would count. Democrats ultimately won both Senate runoffs, clinching control of the chamber.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A handful of GOP voices have gone as far as to say the party should move on from Trump completely, including Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, billionaire donor Ken Griffin and Rep.-elect Mike Lawler (N.Y.), who defeated House Democrats\u2019 campaign chief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAnytime you are focused on the future, you can\u2019t so much go to the past.\u00a0I think people are really excited about the opportunity to address the challenges that we\u2019re facing as a country,\u201d Lawler said on CNN. \u201cAnd I think more focus needs to be on the issues and the substance of those issues than on personalities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But those concerns have clearly not convinced Trump, who has been itching to declare a third White House campaign for months but has held off at the urging of advisers and party leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former president has in recent days insisted the midterms were a success for him personally, pointing to the dozens of candidates he endorsed who won their races for the House, Senate and other offices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Miller, who two days ago said \u201cpriorities A, B and C\u201d needed to be focusing on the Georgia runoff, on Friday\u00a0said Trump told him of his plans: \u201c\u2019There doesn\u2019t need to be any question. Of course I\u2019m running. I\u2019m going to do this, and I want to make sure people know that I\u2019m fired up and we\u2019ve got to get the country back on track.\u2019\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
