[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] "To make America great and glorious again, I hereby announce my candidacy for the presidential election."

Despite ongoing election accountability controversies, former U.S. President Donald Trump officially declared his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election as scheduled on the night of the 15th (local time). This marks his third attempt following his 2016 election victory and 2020 re-election defeat.

At 9 p.m. Eastern Time, Trump invited the media to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida to deliver the anticipated "major announcement." Opening with "The return of America starts now," he devoted much of the early part of his speech to criticizing the current Biden administration by comparing it to his own term. He then confirmed his challenge for the 2024 presidential election, stating, "I will make America great and glorious again" for these reasons.

Prior to the announcement, former President Trump submitted campaign committee documents to the Federal Election Commission including himself as a presidential candidate.
