Tuesday last night, former US President Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the 2024 US Presidental election at his Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. With the Republican party already heavily split after the midterm elections, Trump's announcement seems like it will be a crossroads for many conservatives across the nation.
While Trump's senatorial endorsements performed well below average in the polls, Republicans like Ron Desantis, Brian Kemp, and other less-Trumpy candidates seemed much better off. Even historically pro-Trump media outlets and politicians seem to be distancing themselves from the former President and it's clear that many Republicans wish to move on from his presidency, despite his own unwillingness to do so.
Recently, Republicans seem to be drifting further and further away from the former President every day. What this means for his campaign or chances of winning, well, it's tough to say.
In a statement, President Koda said that Trump's 2024 campaign would be "stinky doodoo," and left it at that.
