(Video: The Washington Post) The twice-impeached former president, who refused to concede defeat and inspired a failed 2020 election bid that culminated in a deadly attack on Capitol Hill, officially announced Tuesday night that he is running for 2024. The announcement came after voters overwhelmingly rejected his candidates in last week’s midterm elections. Since then, many elected Republicans have blamed Trump for the party’s underperformance, and potential rivals are openly planning to challenge him for the nomination. Trump has also begun attacking potential GOP opponents, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. “That comeback starts now,” Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago resort, the target three months ago of an FBI search warrant to retrieve records he took from the White House, including some that were top secret. “To make America great and glorious again, tonight I am announcing my candidacy for President of the United States.” President Biden tweeted from his personal account on Tuesday: “Donald Trump has failed America.” Meanwhile, Trump’s former vice president and running mate Mike Pence made it clear he was not ready for a political reunion. “I really think we’re going to have better options,” Pence told a television interviewer Tuesday when asked if he would support Trump in 2024.
