Trump campaign email polls whether he should run in 2024
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s campaign emailed supporters Tuesday night asking whether he should run again in 2024, though Trump has not conceded or admitted that he lost this year’s election.
The email, which includes a link to a poll on the campaign website, claims the “Radical Left STOLE this Election from” Trump.
“Rest assured, YOUR President will NEVER stop fighting for YOU and YOUR family. He will do whatever it takes to ensure America is put FIRST,” the email says, “which is why he asked us to reach out with ONE very important question,” regarding a run in 2024.
The president has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims that he won the general election this year against Democratic candidate Joe Biden, who is the president-elect.
Monday, the 538 members of the Electoral College met to make their state results official. Biden won 306 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed to clinch the White House, and Trump won 232.
There has been no evidence of widespread election fraud, according to the Justice Department, and almost all of the legal challenges presented by Trump’s legal team and some allies have been dismissed by judges, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Once participants complete the “Yes” or “No” poll, they are encouraged to contribute to the “Senate Runoff Election.”
Georgia’s two Senate runoffs will decide which party controls the upper chamber of Congress, where Vice President-elect Kamala Harris could become a tiebreaker on legislation.
During a White House briefing Tuesday, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany would not answer questions on whether she thought Biden had won the election. “I will leave that to the president,” she said, “but he’s still pursuing ongoing litigation at the moment for this election.”
The 22nd Amendment says presidents can serve no more than two terms, meaning Trump can run again in 2024 though he would be unable to if he’d won this year’s contest, as he claims.
