Guwahati: Former US president Donald Trump has filed paperwork to contest once again for the post of president.
According to report, he submitted the paperwork announcing his candidacy to run for president once more in 2024.

In the US House, Democrats have been in the lead in 207 seats while Republicans have been in the lead in 217 seats.
Trump has been dropping hints that he will run for president in recent months.
Addressing a rally in Iowa recently, Trump had said, “I will very, very probably do it again,” CBS News reported. Trump in the aftermath of the midterms admitted that his party had faced a “somewhat disappointing” outcome and has already moved on.
The former US President made a statement regarding two GOP governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia who could challenge his position as the party’s anchor in the upcoming months, according to a CNN report. He said that he has his sights set on winning a second term in Washington.
Making a statement regarding Glenn Youngkin, Donald Trump in a post on Truth Social said, “I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him – or he couldn’t have come close to winning.” Notably, Donald Trump was defeated by current US President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections. He and his backers have refused to accept the results and have been accused of voter fraud.
