Former U.S. president Donal Trump on Tuesday formally launched his third bid for the White House with a grievance-filled speech from his Mar-a-Lago club, setting the stage for a potentially ugly presidential campaign over the next two years. Minutes before his appearance at an event announcing his candidacy, Trump’s campaign filed federal paperwork to declare that he’s running again, Despite two impeachments, mounting electoral losses and decling support among Republicans, Trump pitched himself during a primetime address as the only candidate who can defeat President Joe Biden, who is expected to run for re-election in 2024.
"America's comeback starts right now," the 76-year-old former president told his supporters at his palatial residence in Florida.With his announcement Trump is the first major contender from either party to formally declare. He blamed Biden for record-high inflation and energy prices, as well as a surge of migrants across the southern border that he called “an invasion” — recalling his first campaign launch in 2015, when he likened Mexican immigrants to “rapists.” “Two years ago we were a great nation, and soon we will be a great nation again,” Trump said.
