Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to stay in the 2024 presidential race even if his indicted in any of the multiple criminal investigations bearing down on him.
The former president held a press conference on Saturday evening at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Maryland’s National Harbor, ahead of his remarks to the conference and shortly after it was announced that he was the winner of the annual event’s straw poll.
“I wouldn’t even think of leaving” the race, he told Newsmax’s James Rosen.
Mr Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency in late 2022, immediately following the midterm election contests which saw several of his chosen congressional candidates go down in flames.
“Every time the polls go up higher and higher, the prosecutors get crazier and crazier. We got to stop these guys saying ‘we have to stop Trump ... because we can't stop them at the ballot box,’” he said during his speech to CPAC attendees.
