As it happened: Donald Trump launches 2024 White House bid
  • last year
The "will-he or won't-he" is over. Donald Trump is seeking to become US president again in 2024.

If he succeeds, he'll be only the second president in US history to pull off winning two non-consecutive terms.

We're ending our live coverage now but here's a quick sum-up of what Trump told the crowds at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Tuesday night.

Trump called the US "a nation in decline" and touted his record in the White House
He tried to argue that Republicans had actually done well in last week's midterms, despite a chorus of criticism blaming him for their underwhelming gains in Congress
The only president to have been impeached twice called himself a "victim" and reminded voters that Mar-a-Lago, where the event is being held, was raided by the FBI only a few months ago
He pledged to land an American on Mars if he became president, and promised to reinstate soldiers that were kicked out of the military for refusing to get vaccinated against Covid
He did not dwell on his false claims that he actually won the election against Biden in 2020
