| Good aftenoon, OnPolitics readers! |
| As we count down to Election Day, here's what the final stretch of the midterms means for 2024 election. Politics Managing Editor Caren Bohan writes: |
| Former President Donald Trump has been criss-crossing the country ahead of the Nov. 8 midterms to rally support for GOP allies such as Senate candidate J.D. Vance in Ohio and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. |
| He's also reminding his supporters that he has no intention of relinquishing the political spotlight to potential 2024 rivals such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence – two other prominent Republicans who have been active on the campaign trail. |
| As USA TODAY National Political Reporter David Jackson writes, Trump routinely hints to his supporters that he's on the verge of launching another presidential run. |
| "I will probably have to do it again," Trump told supporters during a recent rally in Texas. |
| Notably, many of the states that are part of the former president's final 2022 campaign swing are ones that would be pivotal in a 2024 run, including Iowa, Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. |
| "The people we've talked to are convinced Trump is going to run and is probably going to announce sometime in November," Jackson tells the OnPolitics newsletter. |
| "But Trump is mercurial so we need to wait until he makes it official," said Jackson, a veteran White House and campaign reporter who has covered Trump since he announced his first presidential bid in 2015. |
