BBC News - Donald Trump 2024: Why it will be harder for him to run this time
today (condensed +++)
Six ways it's harder for Trump to run this time:
1. Running with a record - While Mr Trump had some notable policy achievements during his four years in office, he also had some prominent failures.
2. The shadow of 6 January - Trump will have to defend the way he handled the end of his presidency and his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
3. Legal headaches - Trump is currently defending himself against a criminal election-tampering inquiry in Georgia, a civil fraud case targeting his business empire in New York, a defamation lawsuit involving a sexual assault allegation, and federal probes into his role in the Capitol attack and his post-presidential handling of classified material.
4. A tougher opponent - The Florida governor could emerge as the consensus pick among the party faithful not interested in giving Mr Trump another shot.
5. Popularity woes - According to exit polls from the recently concluded midterm elections, Mr Trump is simply not very popular - including in the key states he would need to win to secure the presidency in a general election.
6. Father Time - If he wins the presidency, Mr Trump would be 78 years old when he's sworn in.

The Washington Post - Opinion - At long last, Trump gives his concession speech
16 Nov 2022
It was rambling. It was vain. At times, it was weird. ...
Still, Donald Trump’s hour-long speech Tuesday night should be remembered not just for the things he said, including his announcement that he will seek another presidential term in 2024.
What mattered most was what he did not say ...
At no time did he repeat his false claim of massive cheating in 2020, nor did Trump say Biden holds office illegitimately ...
He even indirectly acknowledged the reality of the 2022 results by boasting that “by 2024,” when he intends to head the ticket, “the voting will be much different.”
In short, by Trump standards, this was a concession speech.
The concession was to reality - the reality that voters on Nov. 8 spoke in free and fair elections ...
