But it seems increasingly clear that Donald Trump wants to be President of the United States again.

It's an open secret: Donald Trump wants to go back to the White House.

The preparations are already underway.

The 2020 voter fraud lie remains a key issue.

Washington – One of the most important questions in Washington is: After his defeat two years ago, will Donald Trump rejoin the race for the presidency of the United States in 2024?

There is no official statement from Trump yet.

While Joe Biden has already declared that he wants to fight for a second term when he is 81, there are only indications in the Republican camp that speak for another candidacy.

And those clues, taken in their entirety, are pretty clear: America and the rest of the world must reckon with Trump once more.

Majority of conservative voters believe in Trump's story of the "stolen" election

These indications include the fact that Trump is currently holding major events two to three times a month, at which he then happily hammers at Biden’s easily recognizable weaknesses.

A performance in the state of Wyoming is planned for next Saturday.

These events usually take place in full halls or stadiums.

The polls, which see Biden at an approval rate of 40 percent in view of the ongoing inflation and the supply crisis, give Trump an impetus.

And on Tuesday, further important groundwork could be laid for Trump's bid - if his supporters win in the Republican party's internal primaries for the midterm elections in Congress in November.

The fact that the majority of conservative voters continue to believe that Biden only won using unfair methods two years ago and cheated Trump out of victory plays an important role in the Republican's strategy.

The "big lie" is how Trump describes the 2020 election result. Some of the party friends who are running for Congress or for governor reject this interpretation.

And, according to polls, they will not necessarily do poorly because of this – like the incumbent governor in Georgia, Brian Kemp, who rejects any support for Trump.

However, if Donald Trump wants to return to the White House, in addition to the majority of the electors, he may only need a very small number of his party friends - those in key positions.

Prominent Republicans are running for the Justice Department in 14 states

So is it just a coincidence that at least 14 states — including the four swing states of Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin — have prominent Republicans who believe Trump is the real winner of 2020 running for the Justice Department?

If these candidates win the party primaries and then win November, they would have the power to influence the outcome of the next presidential election.

As chief justice officials, they would represent the state's position in election challenges in court.

And through their actions and testimonies, they could have a significant influence on whether challenges are successful in the respective courts.

In front of the Supreme Court in Washington, the "Supreme Court", Trump can also continue to count on a majority - if there are no deaths or retirements among conservative judges by the end of 2024.

The power of the "Supreme Court" could be seen in the 2000 duel between the Democrat Al Gore and the eventual winner George W. Bush, when a recount was stopped in Florida and Bush became president.
