US election 2024: Trump wants to return to the White House - his family too?
Former US President Donald Trump has announced his bid for the White House again in 2024.
He announced this at an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Tuesday evening (local time). He continued to make baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through massive voter fraud.
His wife Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were present at the event. His other children, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, were not there.
Is the Trump family planning a political comeback?
Melania: focus on charity projects
Since leaving the White House, Melania Trump has largely withdrawn from the public eye. She has dedicated herself to raising her son Barron and to projects of her charity "Be Best".
She rarely comments on political issues. However, she has expressed her support for her husband's decision to run for president again.
Ivanka: stay out of politics?
Ivanka Trump was one of her father's closest advisers during his presidency. She has often been seen as his potential successor.
However, since leaving the White House, she has distanced herself from politics. She has focused on her business and family and has not yet commented on her father's renewed candidacy.
Donald Trump Jr.: ambitions for the presidency?
Donald Trump Jr. is one of his father's most vocal supporters. He has repeatedly attacked President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
He has also hinted that he may one day run for president himself. However, he has not yet made a final decision.
Eric Trump: loyal son and business partner
Eric Trump is his father's loyal son and business partner. He has been involved in the family business for many years and is said to be close to his father.
He has not yet commented on his father's candidacy, but is expected to support him.
Tiffany Trump: keeping a low profile
Tiffany Trump is the least known of Donald Trump's children. She has kept a low profile since her father became president.
She has not yet commented on his renewed candidacy.
What are the chances of a Trump comeback?
It is still too early to say what chances Donald Trump has of winning the 2024 election. However, he remains a popular figure among Republicans.
A recent poll found that 54% of Republicans would vote for him in the 2024 primaries. However, he is also a polarizing figure and many Americans have a negative view of him.
It remains to be seen whether he can unite the Republican Party and win back the support of moderate voters.
