Franklin US PRESIDENT JOE Biden’s Democrats edged closer to retaining control of the US Senate last night, as Donald Trump prepared to declare his bid for the White House in 2024.His victory gives Democrats 49 Senate seats, one short of securing a majority, with Nevada still counting votes and Georgia’s contest headed to a 6 December runoff.
Trump will announce next week that he is taking another shot at the presidency with a White House run in 2024, his long-time advisor Jason Miller said Friday. Trump’s candidacy will mark his third shot at the presidency, including his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. After that defeat, he promoted baseless claims of fraud, including those that led to an unprecedented riot at the US Capitol in Washington.Trump’s big announcement in Florida comes after a disappointing run for several candidates he backed in the midterms.
The former president’s major media ally — the powerful empire of conservative billionaire Rupert Murdoch — even turned on him in the wake of the polls. Nevertheless, more than 100 Republican candidates who challenged the 2020 presidential election results won their respective races.
