On Saturday, President Donald Trump teased a presidential run during a rally in Georgia. "We're going to take back the House in 2022," Trump said "And then in 2024, and hopefully I won't have to be a candidate, we're going to win back the White House again." Trump was campaigning on behalf of GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. Perdue and Loeffler are competing in the Senate runoff election next month against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Dr. Fauci met with President-elect Joe Biden's transition team on Thursday. Fauci will continue in his role under the Biden administration at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci said they discussed “a variety of Covid-related topics.” Fauci said he has spoken previously with Biden's incoming White House chief of staff, Ron Klain. Fauci added that his Thursday meeting will likely be the first of a series of transition meetings with the team. He also said he fully expects to remain in his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The Daily Beast is reporting that Donald Trump is considering hosting a campaign event for a 2024 presidential bid in January. The event might fall on the same day as President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20. The Daily Beast cited sources close to the president. They reported that Trump is attempting to stay relevant even as the world prepares for a Biden administration. Business Insider reports the discussions of a 2024 campaign event mark the latest move in Trump's attempt to derail the start of Biden's presidency.
The family of President Donald Trump appears to be split on whether he should publicly concede the presidential election to named winner Joe Biden. CNN reports Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is urging concession, as is First Lady Melania Trump. However, Trump's two adult sons, Eric and Donald Jr. are loudly exhorting allies to continue pressing on. Moments after CNN and other networks projected Biden's win, Trump tweeted Biden was 'rushing to falsely pose as the winner' and that the race is 'far from over.' A Biden-Harris campaign staffer says there has been no communication between Biden and Trump, or between the campaigns, since the race was called.
While Joe Biden has publicly announced he expects to win the election, President Donald Trump does not plan to concede. Business Insider reports Trump has continued to push ahead with several lawsuits in a last-minute effort to halt states' vote counts or contest results. But sources say aides see it more as a 'slapdash legal effort' that has not borne fruit--nor is likely to. What's more, Trump's continual false claims about voter fraud and a stolen election have reportedly also made some aides uneasy. As they quietly retreat, others are looking for 2024 targets they can focus their political ambitions on.
