Even though President Trump has yet to concede defeat to Democrat President-elect Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and despite the fact that he has launched suits challenging vote counts in several states, there are signs that he is at least willing to consider the option of moving on.
According to a report from the Axios news website, Trump told his advisers that he is considering running for president again in the 2024 election.

The US Constitution allows one person to be president twice, although the two terms do not have to be consecutive. This means Trump can become president again. The only president in history to serve two non-consecutive terms was President Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd and 24th president.
Naturally, many in the Republican Party are vary of another Trump election, as it could stop fundraising and ambitions for other Republican presidential contenders, and it denies the party the ability to move on, all the while Trump himself will have to deal with a host of legal issues.
If the president does indeed make another run for the White House in 2024, he could remain a formidable candidate in a Republican primary even four years after leaving the party, as despite losing five states to Biden that he won in 2016, he has managed to pile up more total votes than he won in 2016, which has given him some clout within the GOP despite the loss.
