Former president Donald Trump is said to be fuming over the fact that at least fourteen of his handpicked candidates are projected to have lost their election bids. Some Trump aides are now expressing concern as the former president prepares for a “big announcement” regarding his potential 2024 presidential run.

According to ABC news, sources close to Trump described him as “fuming” at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night as GOP candidates he had backed started to lose or underperform.

“This was the end of the Trump era and the dawn of the DeSantis era,” a Republican operative close to the Trump orbit told ABC News. “Like every other Trump catastrophe, he did this to himself with stupid and reckless decisions.”
