Trump will not run for President in 2024, even if he lives that long. And, no, Marjorie Taylor-Greene will not be his running mate because he will not run.
Trump is finished.
The cancellation of an anticipated rally in Georgia last month has halted Donald Trump’s streak of five rallies in the preceding four months, and there are no plans to return to top battleground states to boost Senate hopefuls.
Instead, of Georgia, where there is a hotly contested Senate race, Trump will hold a rally in Texas which lacks a Senate race this cycle — a sign that shows the demand for Trump’s presence around GOP candidates in waning.
Trump’s rally speeches typically include an instruction to vote in person on Election Day only. But GOP operatives say discouraging early voting creates risk that some number of voters will not end up making it on Election Day.
In fact, Trump’s rallies are not the draw they used to be.
For example there are his recent rallies:
- The Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio, had a section of empty bleachers in the back shortly before Trump took the stage there on Sept. 17. The crowd was estimated at no more than 3,000
- Trump’s stop in Nevada on Oct. 8 at the Minden-Tahoe Airport had just over 10,000 people go through the security screening, according to airport director Bobbi Thompson. For comparison, when Trump came to the same spot in 2020, the crowd was about 20,000, based on the number of coronavirus tests administered.
