Trump reelection bid: IU experts available to comment

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Former President Donald Trump has announced that he is running for president in 2024 after he failed to secure a second term in the 2020 election against current President Joe Biden. Trump’s announcement comes amid several ongoing investigations into his business practices, as well as a House Committee investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

Indiana University political science and legal experts are available to comment on what the midterm election results say about Trump’s chances, how the Republican Party might react and whether any of the ongoing investigations could impact his presidential bid.
