"As you know, it's very early," Trump said Tuesday in an interview with Candace Owens on The Daily Wire . That sort of winking, you-know-the-deal response about 2024 has become de rigueur from the former President as he ponders his political future. But it also doesn't really mean anything. Plus, even if Trump wants to run, it's not entirely clear whether his ongoing legal and financial troubles will allow him to do so. That uncertainty has created a fascinating dynamic among would-be candidates -- attempting to be deferential to Trump (and his wishes) while also courting his support in the event he doesn't run.
