US President Donald Trump is considering running again for president in 2024, the Axios news site reports, indicating the president is inching closer to admitting defeat in the race.

The report by Axios, which quotes two sources familiar with discussions on the matter, says Trump expressed interest in the idea in conversation with his advisers. As a one-term president, Trump can again seek the presidency for an additional term at a future date. If he runs again in 2024, he’ll be 78 years old — seven months older than Joe Biden, the oldest president-elect in US history, is now.
