Rick Scott I keep predicting donald trump is scheduled to run in 2024, and he expects an announcement at some point. But Scott said an announcement will be made in the next few weeks, not Monday night.
“I would be stunned,” he told Boston’s WRKO radio about the rumors Trump will announce at Monday’s Ohio rally. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran for office, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he announced sooner than that in the next few weeks.
“President Trump is committed to making sure we win every race. JD Vance, has endorsed quite a few people and he wants them to win. He has held meetings for the people. He’s doing phone town halls. He’s doing everything he can to make sure we win.”
Scott said the same thing on an earlier radio hit Monday afternoon.
“I don’t know when we will announce it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he runs. I think there are quite a few people who want to run for president. So let’s see how it goes.” Scott told the audience WBT in Charlotte.
Trump is expected to make an announcement soon. Scott remains officially noncommittal about such a move.
