Did Trump Announce 2024 White House Run? 'We're Going to Take Back America'

Former President Donald Trump was rumored to announce his 2024 presidential bid during his rally in Ohio Monday, but instead continued to leave supporters with a teaser for a future announcement after spending much of his time on stage talking about his four years in the White House.

"This is the year we're going to take back the House," Trump said toward the end of his speech. "We're going to take back the Senate and we're going to take back America. And in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent White House."

The former president added that while he didn't want to "detract" from what he called a "country-saving election" on Tuesday, a "very big announcement" would be coming from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on November 15.

Trump's stop in Dayton was the final of his rallies aimed at gathering support for his endorsements for Tuesday's midterm elections, with Monday night dedicated to Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance and his fellow GOP candidates across the state. Vance currently holds a 6.1-point lead over his Democratic opponent Tim Ryan, reports FiveThirtyEight, and has greatly benefited from Trump's continued support.

"JD will fight for Ohio with every bone in his body," Trump said. "As a native of your state who has personally witnessed the pillaging of Ohio jobs and the devastation of Ohio communities, JD knows how important it is to have leaders who put America first and put Ohio first."

Trump spent the majority of his speech comparing his term in the White House to President Joe Biden's, and repeatedly hit on the issues of crime and inflation, claiming that during his time in the Oval Office, the U.S. had the "greatest economy in the history of the world, with no inflation."

According to FactCheck.org, while Trump's administration did see a "long period of low inflation," the Customer Price Index jumped 7.6 percent, unemployment rose 1.6 percent and the economy lost 2.9 million jobs during his presidency.

Trump also spent time looking over polling data with supporters, which showed him winning by double digits in a hypothetical 2024 race against Biden.

There were several sources close to the former president who said he had considered announcing his 2024 candidacy on Monday, reported CNN and the New York Post.

While Trump has teased a potential reelection campaign during other recent rallies, including in Iowa Thursday, he has been expected to announce his bid shortly after the midterms, according to Kellyanne Conway, Trump's former senior counselor.

Some strategists have also suggested that Trump announcing a bid too early may be a boost for Democrats in key swing states, including political analyst Adrienne Elrod, who said on MSNBC Sunday that key independent voters are likely to have "Donald Trump fatigue."
