Donald Trump, in an hour-long interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity on Monday night, said he is “very seriously, beyond seriously” considering running for president in 2024.
Trump told Hannity that he will “very seriously” consider running again in 2024 if the Republican Party can “get the right people” on Capitol Hill.
“It’s very important that we get the right people. That means in the Senate, that means in the House,” Trump said.
Trump added that he is “all in” to campaign on behalf of Republican candidates in next year’s midterm elections.
“I got tremendous numbers, nobody’s ever gotten the numbers I got, no sitting president’s come even close,” Trump said, referring to the 2020 election.
“There’s more popularity now than there was the day before the election because they see how bad things are at the border, they see what’s going on, they see there are guns are going to be gone,” he added.
“If they need a rally, we’ll do a rally, we’ll do calls, we’ll do all sorts of things,” Trump said before adding: “Almost everybody I endorse wins.”
Hannity asked Trump what he misses most about the presidency in the three months since departing the White House.

“I miss the most, helping people,” Trump responded. “That’s why I did it. Look, this has been very traumatic. I had a great life, great company, great business, no problems and now all I do is, people go after you. It’s vicious and it is horrible but you know what? I loved doing it because I helped people. And I’ve helped them more than any president.”

Last week, Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said a major move could be happening in the future.
During an interview on Sebastion Gorka’s radio show, Meadows said there’s a “50-50 chance” that Trump runs for office again.
“I’m feeling great about President Trump’s willingness to serve once again in the Oval Office,” Meadows told Gorka, another alumnus of the Trump White House.
Meadows didn’t get into specifics, but he did say Trump is “making all the preparations necessary” for another run, and he’s “being encouraged by his friends and former staffers.”
“Ultimately, what I think you will see is a vision for America that didn’t stop on Nov. 3, didn’t stop on Jan. 20, and we need to reengage,” Meadows said, referring to the dates of the 2020 election and Inauguration Day.
“So he’s getting major encouragement, and I would say this: I would put the odds at better than 50-50 that he runs again, and everybody should take note of that,” he continued.
Trump also recently hired Susie Wiles, a veteran political organizer, to help with his political operations.
“She is in a position of influence right now,” said one Trump adviser. “The question is: What direction does Susie take the organization?”
In a memo, Wiles wrote: “Focusing on the Trump voter from 2016 was a priority. Often these voters were not members of a Republican Club – sometimes not Republicans – and not drawn to GOP ideology but rather to President Trump as a brand. Re-engaging them was important and proved critical to GOTV (get-out-the-vote) and voter contact efforts.”
Trump adviser Jason Miller explained, “Susie has been a great teammate for two successful presidential campaigns in Florida and we’re glad to have her join the all-stars already assembled. Watch out 2022!”
During an interview last month with Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law who is now a Fox News contributor, Trump strongly suggested that he may run for president in 2024.
When asked about his supporters having hope that he will run again, Trump said: “You do have hope, that I can tell you, you do have hope. We love our country, this country, we all owe a lot to our country, but now we have to help our country.”
Trump also officially launched a brand new website.
