[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] "We will be great again. We will make it happen together." Former U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at running for the 2024 presidential election in his Thanksgiving message on the 25th (local time).


According to local media such as the New York Post, Liz Harrington, who acts as a spokesperson for former President Trump, released Trump's Thanksgiving statement on her Twitter that day.


President Trump quoted his 2016 campaign slogan "Make America Great Again," saying, "It is a very interesting time in our country (the United States) right now, but do not worry. We will be great again," and added, "We will make it happen together."


He also emphasized, "America will never fail," and "We will never let America go in the wrong direction." He continued, "So many great generations are counting on us," and added, "Enjoy Thanksgiving knowing that a wonderful future lies ahead."


Local media reported that this message indicated his intention to run again in the next presidential election. Former President Trump was defeated by the Democratic candidate, current President Joe Biden, in last year's election. Earlier this month, he mentioned in an interview with Fox News that he might officially announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election depending on the results of next year's midterm elections.


In a separate email to his supporters, former President Trump also criticized the inflation issue that has been under scrutiny during the Biden administration. According to a Harvard-Harris poll released last September, 46% of Americans preferred President Biden, while 48% preferred former President Trump.



Earlier, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated that President Biden, currently 79 years old, intends to run in the 2024 presidential election.
