My first guess is he is doing it to promote his rally speech and promote the mid terms in general. He has people on both sides talking about it for different reasons. He loves publicity and the midterms tomorrow are the most important thing tomorrow.

We'll see if it was a leak with a purpose or a legitimate leak. I'm leaning towards the former.

At some point before the election of 2024 he will have to announce his campaign so he can officially raise money leading up to it.

Anyone saying if he announces he is running in 2024 means he is conceding 2020 or something else, needs to remember he will have to announce sometime.

One reason why I think it may be tonight is he may want to announce he is running before the DOJ indicts him. We all know that's coming. If he is already Indicted, would that complicate his announcement he is running? I don't know, but it might be in play with his thinking.

The DOJ has likely held off on doing so, because they know that would turn out the red vote tomorrow even more than it already has.

He couldn't come back before the midterms, as he would only be able to serve the remainder of the current 4 year resident. If he comes back after the midterms, he can finish the current 4 year term and also run for 4 more years.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

So a lot of people keep saying this. So I'll just reply here in a friendly manner and make it a response to all who say this. Many people are saying this. This is just my humble personal opinion.

If Trump comes back AFTER the midterms, he gets to finish his rightful term, AND run for 4 more years in 2024. Had Trump come back before the 2022 mid terms, by Amendment 22 of the US Constitution, he would only have been allowed to finish the current term, and by serving more than 2 years, would NOT be able to run for 4 more years in 2024.

This is a difference between Trump getting less than 2 years to be president again, and getting closer to 6 more years.

I think most would agree that 6 is better than 2 and it's what most people want.

At this point, we have Joe impersonating president for almost 2 years and our country is going to hell faster than I've ever seen before. Faster than I thought possible. Trump didn't concede and it hasn't stopped our country from going to hell.

There is no reason in the world Trump can't say, I am not conceding 2020. I have not conceded 2020. I will never concede 2020. BUT, I am running for president again in 2024.

If he did this before the midterms, and he was restored to president before the 2 year limit (which is actually in January 2023, 2 years after inauguration), he would not be constitutionally eligible to run for President in 2024.

By waiting for this important 2 year threshold, he can both dispute 2020 and also run for another term in 2024.

This is not a dichotomy.

In my opinion, it does not mean he automatically concedes 2020. See my reply above.
