I'm more angry now and I'm more committed now Trump told a small crowd at New Hampshire Republican Party's annual meeting in Salem before heading to Columbia, South Carolina for an appearance alongside his leadership team in the state. Trump's aides view this as a first step to the public phase of the 2024 election campaign. In his speech, he focused on criticising the Biden administration's foreign policy decisions. Many Republicans are also considering the possibility of launching their own White House bid. For example, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley may throw their hats into the ring. On November the 15th, Trump said that he would participate in the 2024 presidential election. The incumbent US president said that he planned to run for reelection on November the 9th, but cautioned that he would make the final decision in early 2023. Numerous Republicans are considering whether to launch their own White House bids, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, widely seen as the biggest threat to Trump. Top Republicans in both states that the former president visited, including New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley are among those weighing bids of their own. There were several conspicuous absences in South Carolina, including the state party chairman, five Republican US representatives from the state and South Carolina US Senator Tim Scott who has himself been floated as a potential Republican presidential candidate. Trump attempted to allay those concerns, telling the crowd that he expected a wave of additional endorsements from the South Carolina's state and federal lawmakers within days.
