Trump eyeing early jump into 2024 race: report

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering an early entrance into the 2024 White House race to reclaim the limelight and make his case that the Jan. 6 probe is politically motivated.

Mr. Trump could make a formal announcement as soon as this month, according to The New York Times.

Jumping into the race in mid-2022 would be rather unusual — candidates usually wait until the year before an election — and put GOP divisions on display while Republicans are trying to secure big victories in the mid-terms.

Republicans are making this year’s election cycle about pocketbook issues and President Biden’s inability to rein in inflation.
