Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, announced his campaign for a nonconsecutive second presidential term in the 2024 U.S. presidential election on November 15, 2022.

Trump has campaigned on vastly expanding the authority of the executive branch over the federal government.[7] This would be accomplished through the reimposition of the Jacksonian spoils system,[8][9] invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military onto American streets,[10][11] and directing the Department of Justice to go after domestic political enemies.[11] Other campaign issues include: implementing anti-immigrant policies and a massive deportation operation;[12] pursuing an isolationist "America First" foreign policy agenda;[13][14] repealing the Affordable Care Act;[15][16] pursuing a climate change denial and anti-clean energy platform;[17][18][19] terminating the Department of Education;[18] implementing anti-LGBT policies;[20][18] and pursuing what has been described as a neomercantilist trade agenda.[21][22]

Trump has been leaning into violent and authoritarian rhetoric throughout the campaign.[23][24][25][26] Trump has increasingly used dehumanizing and violent rhetoric against his political enemies.[23][27][28] His 2024 campaign has been noted for leaning into nativist[29] and anti-LGBT rhetoric.[30] The Trump campaign has been noted for its close connections to Project 2025,[31][11][26] which has been heavily criticized and described as an attempt for Trump to become a dictator and a path leading the United States towards autocracy, with several experts in law criticizing it for violating current constitutional laws that would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers.[32][33]

The campaign is unfolding as Trump faces the legal aftermath of four criminal indictments filed against him in 2023, as well as a civil investigation of the Trump Organization in New York. The campaign has continued to promote false claims that the former 2020 election was stolen,[34] and comes in the wake of Trump's unprecedented attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election[35][36] and its culmination in the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[37][38] which has been widely described as an attempted coup d'état[39][40] or self-coup.[41][42] Trump has publicly embraced[43] the January 6 attack and has promised to pardon those charged for their involvement in the attack.[44][45][46]

National primary polling shows Trump leading by 50 points over other candidates.[47] After he won a landslide victory in the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses, Trump was generally described as being the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president,[48][49] with a process of consolidation now underway.[50]
