WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 05: U.S. President Donald Trump shushes journalists before signing the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act in the Rose Garden at the White House June 05, 2020 in Washington, DC. In the midst of nationwide protests against the death of George Floyd, the U.S. Labor Department announced the unemployment rate fell to 13.3 percent in May, a surprising improvement in the nation’s job market as hiring rebounded faster than economists expected in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Former President Donald Trump has not been quiet about his plans to run for president in the 2024 election.
Richard Grenell, former intelligence chief under Trump, told Newsmax that Trump “personally, a number of times,” indicated that “he does want to run again.” Trump has recently hinted though that if he did run, it may not be as a Republican.
Despite his incredible popularity among American GOP voters, Trump has talked about forming his own party, the Patriot Party.
“Clearly, Donald Trump is a Republican and should run again as a Republican,” Grenell said. Grenell, and other analysts expect, that if Trump did start his own party, it could divide GOP voters.
