Former President Donald Trump said Monday that he will make a “big announcement” next week in Florida. “I’m going to make a big announcement on Tuesday, November 15 at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump told a cheering crowd in Vandalia, Ohio, where he was holding his final rally in support of Senate candidate JD Vance. “We don’t want anything to detract from the importance of tomorrow.”
Trump has been increasingly explicit about his plans to launch his next presidential campaign. Over the past few days he has said that he would “very, very, very likely” run again and that he would formalize his intentions “very, very soon.” “I’ll probably have to do it again, but stay tuned,” he said Sunday night in Miami. “Stay tuned tomorrow night in the great state of Ohio.”
Trump had been urged to wait until after the midterm elections were over to launch his campaign, in part to avoid turning the election into a referendum on him and shield him from possible blame. But he has been eager to move on and said privately for weeks that he might announce his plans at one of his homestretch rallies, even as attendees have been discussing possible venues and dates for a formal announcement over the next few weeks. days.
