According to several US media, ex-President Donald Trump (76) wants to announce his candidacy for the White House in mid-November.

Countdown to the power struggle in Washington …
Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, is about the majority in the critical US Congress. And on the outside line, an old acquaintance is already warming up for the next battle: Donald J. Trump (76)!
Several US media reported at the weekend that America's ex-president wants to announce his third candidacy for the White House around November 14.
Trump himself said at an event in Iowa last Thursday: "To make our country prosperous and safe and glorious, I will very likely do it again." Get ready is all I'm telling you. Very soon. Get ready."
And things are going well for the former entertainer and real estate juggler. According to the latest polls, his Republicans are ahead in the Senate (51-49) and House (228-207) races.
In fact, the mood in the US has shifted massively since President Joe Biden (79) defeated Donald Trump two years ago. Back then, America's liberals were highly motivated. Unfortunately, little is left of their euphoria today.
Joe Biden's values are in the basement: According to a CNN poll, only 42 percent think the Democrat is doing a good job.
The outrage over the abortion right, which the Supreme Court abolished in the summer, has long since evaporated: According to a study by the news channel CNN, only 15 percent of Americans said this was a crucial issue for them.
8 out of 10 voters say the situation in the country is 'out of control.'
In contrast, for 51 percent of Americans, the economy is again the number one concern. And eight out of ten voters declared that the country's situation is "out of control." Moreover, the fear of a recession is growing.
Even when it comes to the war in Ukraine, the mood in the US population seems to change. In a new poll by the Wall Street Journal, 30 percent say the Biden administration is getting too involved in the crisis. Almost half (48 percent) of Republicans now see it that way. For comparison: In March, only six percent said this.
Kelly Carpenter, 54, an accountant and conservative voter from Montana, said, "We have many problems here of our own – inflation, crime, immigration deluge. We have to take care of our own country.”
Meanwhile, Eric Ramos, 33, a Democrat and teacher from Austin, Texas, who continues to support aid to Ukraine, said, "You have to help yourself before you help others."
At the same time, Joe Biden's values are in the basement. In the same poll, only 42 percent think the Democrat is doing a good job. A month ago, 46 percent said so.
After his first two years in office, Biden is worse off than his predecessor. At that time, Trump's Republicans had clearly lost their majority in the House of Representatives but could barely maintain their position in the Senate.
No wonder, then, that many Democratic candidates have preferred not to be seen with their president in recent weeks.
Should the Republicans really be clear winners on Tuesday, it would be a severe smack for Biden. He would then be a lame duck - a commander-in-chief who no longer has a majority in Congress to push his agenda through.
If Congress were successful, Trump would no longer have to worry about the committee of inquiry.
The probability that if his party wins in the House of Representatives, Trump will still be in the dock because of some classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago (Florida) residence or his role in the bloody storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, would then be almost Zero.
The political website "The Hill" also determined that if Trump and Biden were to compete today, the Republican would be ahead with 45 to 43 percent and again be the most powerful man in the world.
AND: If Biden forgoes a new candidacy for reasons of age and his Vice President Kamala Harris (58) runs, Trump would even be ahead with a whopping 49 to 38 percent!

Someone else speaks for his candidate comeback: His inner-party competitor Ron DeSantis (44, Governor of Florida), who has so far only been taken seriously, would currently go down without a murmur against both Biden and Harris.
Hillary Clinton is also warming up to 2024
In addition to Trump, another heavyweight is warming up for 2024: ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (75). Last week, the Democrat mixed the election drum for the incumbent New York Governor, Kathy Hochul (64), with Kamala Harris.
A defeat for the Democrats in Congress would be just as much a victory for Clinton as it was for Trump. Because then the liberals should think about sending a horse other than Biden into the race in 2024. And Clinton still has a score to settle with Trump….
