Iran Press/ America: Former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Thursday that he “absolutely” expects President Trump to run again in 2024 if he loses his current reelection bid.
Mulaney, who serves as special envoy for Northern Ireland, made the prediction while participating in a webinar hosted by the Dublin think tank Institute for International and European Affairs.
“I would absolutely expect Trump to stay involved in politics and would absolutely put him on the shortlist of people who are likely to run in 2024,” Mulvaney said, according to The Irish Times.
Although the results are not yet announced, Trump prematurely declared victory early Wednesday even though millions of votes were still being counted across multiple states, asserting that he had won states including Georgia and North Carolina.
Those states still have not been called as of Thursday afternoon. Trump holds a narrowing lead in Georgia of less than 15,000 votes amid the ongoing count. In North Carolina, he holds an approximately 76,000-vote lead.
Biden leads in Nevada and Arizona and is gaining steadily on Trump in Pennsylvania as more voters are counted.
