Former President Donald Trump will run for another chance to serve as the nation’s top official in 2024, according to his former press secretary Sean Spicer.
“He’s in,” said Spicer of Trump, according to an Aug. 6 Washington Times report. During a recent interview, Spicer said Trump has been encouraged to run following decisions by President Joe Biden’s administration that run contrary to Trump-era policies.

Spicer served as press secretary for less than a year before resigning in July 2017. He now hosts “Spicer & Co.” on Newsmax.
“A couple of months ago, I wasn’t sure,” Spicer said of a Trump. “Now ... there needs to be something that will keep him out.”
In addition to Spicer’s comments, former Trump chief-of-staff Mark Meadows also seemed to hint at an upcoming presidential campaign for Trump during a recent Newsmax interview. He said the former president held a meeting with cabinet members in late July.

Though Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said her committee would remain neutral in the 2024 race, she said in an interview Sunday that Trump “still leads the party,” according to Business Insider.

Before Trump moves on to 2024 campaign plans, he is focusing on endorsing select Republican candidates for the 2022 midterm elections. Although his reputation as a “kingmaker” for party candidates was tested with the special election loss of Susan Wright in Texas, it was recently bolstered by the win of coal industry lobbyist Mike Carey in the crowded Ohio 15th district Republican primary.
