Donald Trump is expected to announce a 2024 bid soon after the midterms, possibly as soon as Nov. 14, people familiar with the planning said.
With the election just days away, candidates are fanned out on the campaign trail with support from their respective parties’ biggest names. The former president could declare another run for the White House as soon as Nov. 14, according to people familiar with the planning.
Here’s what’s happening on the campaign trail.
Election Day is four days away. Polls are flooding in, candidates and their surrogates are trying to be everywhere at once, and no one could be blamed for having trouble keeping track. That’s where we come in. Here’s what to know today:
Former President Donald J. Trump is expected to announce a third White House campaign soon after the midterms, possibly as soon as Nov. 14, according to people familiar with the planning. On Friday night, President Biden will stop in Chicago for a reception to rally supporters of Representatives Sean Casten and Bill Foster, a sign of how precarious the Democrats’ positions are even in suburban districts drawn to favor their party.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade, while highly motivating for the Democratic base, has not been the political silver bullet Democrats hoped it would be. Strategists say voters remain uncertain about the new tangle of state laws and about candidates’ positions, a sign that Republicans may have successfully muddied the waters.
Wisconsin Republicans, buoyed by gerrymandered maps, have a chance to win veto-proof supermajorities in the State Legislature. If they manage that, it would make Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, functionally irrelevant even if he wins his hard-fought re-election campaign.
Regardless of how the most outspoken election deniers perform in their secretary of state races on Tuesday, the furious political climate has already transformed an office whose occupants have often prided themselves on their remove from partisan trench warfare.
