Third edition: Trump announces 2024 presidential bid

He's back.
Following months of dropping hints about another run for the White House, former President Donald Trump officially debuted his 2024 presidential campaign at his South Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, on Tuesday night in the hope of making "America great and glorious again."
Though Trump is the first major Republican contender to throw his hat in the ring, his announcement comes as the GOP is reeling from a lackluster midterm outing, and some in the party are weighing dumping the former president for rising star Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
"There's never been anything like it, this great movement of ours," Trump said after strutting up to the podium while Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" played. "America's comeback starts right now."
"Two years ago, we were a great nation, and soon we will be a great nation again," he continued. "The decline of America is being forced upon us by Biden and the radical left lunatics running our government right into the ground. This decline is not a fate we must accept. When given the choice boldly, clearly, and directly, I believe the American people will overwhelmingly reject the Left's platform of national ruin, and they will embrace our platform of national greatness and glory to America."
