Trump will 'probably' announce 2024 plans after midterms: 'A lot of people will be very happy'

Former President Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview with Fox News, said he will "probably" wait until after the 2022 midterm elections to formally announce whether he will run for president in 2024.

"I am certainly thinking about it and we’ll see," Trump said. "I think a lot of people will be very happy, frankly, with the decision, and probably will announce that after the midterms."

The former president said that timeline was "probably appropriate."

"It doesn’t mean I will," Trump said of whether he will stick to that timeline. "It’s probably appropriate, but a lot of people are waiting for that decision to be made."

The former president said that "a lot of great people who are thinking about running are waiting for that decision, because they’re not going to run if I run."
