Former President Donald Trump’s big announcement at Mar-a-Lago was spoiled a little bit early when we learned that he’d filed the FEC paperwork to run for president in 2024:

Trump: “America’s comeback starts right now”
— Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) November 16, 2022
Trump begins his campaign launch by talking about the "Golden Age" that America reached by the end of his presidency — energy dominance, low unemployment (pre-pandemic), global power — and how it was squandered by Biden and the Democrats. It's going to be a fun 2024 campaign…

Trump has gotten better at delivering a teleprompter speech, which will serve him well. He was really bad at it before.

Cillizza, try to keep up. It’s a done deal.
Is there anyone who loves a press conference more than Trump?

"We're going to keep it very elegant" says Trump about 2024 campaign, saying he will not call the press "fake news."

There it is. The announcement no credible republicans asked for or wanted.
Trump is back – and he could very well be President again.

Trump makes it official for 2024.
I’m glad he pushed Walker’s run-off. Wished he would have mentioned historic GOP gains w minority voters and women also.— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) November 16, 2022
Donald Trump gives list of his many accomplishments, hits on the issues and then announces his candidacy for president in 2024. No harping on 2020. Keep it that way and you can win. #TrumpAnnouncement.

"This will not be my campaign. This will be our campaign all together." Says the only force big enough to take on America's challenges is the American people.

We haven’t heard anything yet about Trump starting a new party, so we’re guessing he’s running as a Republican.
Only about 700 days until Election Day 2024.
