Trump poll tests his 2024 comeback map
He is targeting five swing states that are pivotal to his hopes of winning back the White House.
As Donald Trump builds out a presidential-campaign-in-waiting, his team is focusing on an electoral strategy that relies on recapturing the five states that flipped to Joe Biden in 2020.
The five states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — delivered a total of 73 electoral votes in 2020, enough to produce a decisive Electoral College victory for Biden. Since then, Trump has held four rallies, endorsed dozens of candidates and played a key role in shaping contests that could put his allies in top offices in those states in 2024.

Trump’s shadow campaign also recently polled Trump-Biden matchups in the five states, all of which were decided in 2020 by fewer than 3 percentage points. According to the poll, a memo of which was obtained by POLITICO, the former president led Biden in Arizona by 8 percentage points, Georgia by 3 points, Michigan by 12 points, Pennsylvania by 6 points and Wisconsin by 10 points.

In another sign that Trump is gearing up for a White House bid, his super PAC is holding its biggest planned fundraiser to date on Dec. 2, when the nation’s top Republican donors are expected to gather at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

This unnerves me no end. We are in serious danger of losing our democracy if that criminal Trump returns.
Where are the indictments from the Southern District Court in New York? If they can't indict Trump, can they indict his company so as to cripple any potential campaign and label him a potential guilty felon?

You must remember 81.5 million people voted against him and that was before 1/6 and the looming SDNY case. His people are very loud but they don't represent America. The "never Trumpers" won't have changed their minds about him. He hasn't changed, he got WORSE. Didn't learn from his lessons, he's grown more bitter and, therefore, more hated.

Now we've seen how we was as potus, seeing there is nothing he won't do and go all out in vindictiveness, ruthlessness...trying to overthrow democracy...even try murder.

Trump was hurt the most by his psychotic behavior during the debate when he (and his whole family and staff, apparently) turned out to have COVID. Then he acted like a moron when sick, with weird green screen videos and strange behavior. He looked weak to the people who thought he was their savior.
Then to the people who didn't like him but wanted a Republican in office at all costs, he looked like he was dangerous to the party when he encouraged his followers to stage an attempted coup.
By 2024 some of those people will have forgotten and forgiven, and some other new voters who weren't of age in 2020 will vote for Trump, but I don't think it'll be enough to give him the presidency again. Considering how his health faltered while he was in office, if they do vote him in at age 78 he'll probably die in office.

"The Washington Post reports that the D.A. has convened a second long-term grand jury to hear fresh evidence about the Trump Organization’s “financial practices” and will potentially vote on levying new charges. (It was the first grand jury, which met in the spring, that returned the felony indictments against the Trump Organization and Weisselberg, both of whom have pleaded not guilty.) The new grand jury will meet three days a week over six months and is expected to begin hearing evidence Thursday in Manhattan’s Surrogate’s Court. According to one person familiar with the matter, the new group will likely examine how Trump’s company values its assets; another person familiar with the matter said staffers in the D.A.’s office are working closely with the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who had the ex-president’s foundation shut down in 2019 for illegally scamming charities."

For r86,
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
So, hypothetically, a Vice President becomes President after one year due to the death of the sitting President, s/he can only run and get elected for one additional term of their own.
