According to New York (the magazine), it's just a matter of time before he announces officially.
This is terrible news for all the remaining sane conservatives who like to pretend the GOP is salvageable. Once he officially launches his bid, we will see what the small number of GOP politicians who have tilted away from Trump come running back. Assume the shenanigans will only increase this third time around. On the bright side, he'll probably lose again. Let's hope we can trust GOP state officials not to provoke a constitutional crisis.

Donald Trump was impeached twice, lost the 2020 election by 7,052,770 votes, is entangled in investigations by federal prosecutors (over the Capitol insurrection and over the mishandling of classified White House documents and over election interference) and the District of Columbia attorney general (over financial fraud at the Presidential Inaugural Committee) and the Manhattan district attorney (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the New York State attorney general (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the Westchester County district attorney (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney (over criminal election interference in Georgia) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (over rules violations in plans to take his social-media company public through a SPAC) and the House Select Committee on January 6 (whose hearings are the runaway TV-ratings hit of the summer), yet on Monday, July 11, he was in a fantastic mood.
